Key Name Change Laws Impacting Adults in Idaho

In Idaho, a legal adult who has good cause to change their name may do so. However, they must file a petition for name change in Idaho with the court whose jurisdiction they reside.

Essential Components of a Name Change Petition in Idaho

  • current name
  • residence
  • place of birth
  • proposed new name
  • reasoning behind changing the current name

After filing the petition and the fee for a name change in Idaho, the court will set up a hearing at least 6 weeks after the date of filing. Additionally, the court will issue a notice of the hearing that the petitioner must publish in local publications at least once a week for 4 weeks.

If there are no objections filed concerning the name change, the court will proceed with the hearing. This is usually an informal process where a judge will hear any objections and determine whether to grant the name change or not.

If the court agrees to legally change the petitioner’s name, the judge will sign the order and the name is changed.

  • "Katelynn made this process so easy."

    I recently used K. Mitchell Law to have my name changed. Katelynn made this process so easy. The communication was clear and timely, and my responsibilities were easy to understand. A reasonable fee coupled with the professionalism of her office guarantees I’ll use her for future needs as well.

    - LaDonna H.
  • "It was nice to be treated fairly and have a well-educated individual assisting me."
    She was upfront with me about the cost associated with the work and I greatly appreciated her transparency with everything.
    - S.S.
  • "She was immediately responsive to my needs, incredibly attentive, and thorough with all of her communications"
    Not only did she help me win custody of my children, she fought for child support and helped settle other expenses that will benefit my children for a lifetime.

  • "Katelynn was amazing from the start!"
    Katelynn was amazing from the start! She was referred to me by my partner's family, as the majority of them have used or consulted her services. I went for guardianship and had no idea what it entailed— Katelynn was wonderful at explaining the process and being forward about realistic expectations. In no time I was granted guardianship due to her due diligence. She was patient with me, super informative to my questions, and VERY efficient in her work. Really, all I had to do was go about my life and she handled everything! She’s a Gem to the Treasure Valley and I will always consult her for anything I may need in the future. Thanks Katelynn!

  • "This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!"
    How can I begin?

    This whole experience with Katelynn was SUPERB!

    Katelynn was honest, upfront, and professional in every aspect of the work she did for my divorce case. We had a great relationship and got along great, which is something that I was looking for, a Lawyer that wasn't here for the money but here to work for YOU! The nice thing about Katelynn compared to other lawyers in the area is that she won't take too many cases she can't handle, she doesn't have an Assistant do all the work, she does the a lot of the work herself.

    I was lucky that my divorce was handled in mediation (thank goodness). But I heard and listened to Katelynn in the Court room during Trial and she is a not only professional, but confident, courteous, and POWERFUL. She definitely knows what she is doing when it comes to Family Law in Idaho, she even struck down multiple objections from my Ex because the other Lawyer didn't know what they were doing and weren't informed. She is here to fight for you in what she knows you can get, and won't promise or say what she isn't confident in.

    I was confident with Katelynn, and you should be as well, don't look ANYWHERE else. Thank you so much Katelynn!
