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.

"She had all the right answers"
She helped me with a name change and it was an unusual situation. She had all the right answers, was quick to respond, great price for the work She did, and most of all she made it such an easy thing for our family. I couldn't ask for a better lawyer and look forward to working with her in the future with other needs. Thank you thank you thank you for all your help!- Mackenzee R. -
"She was always prompt returning calls and email."
She was always prompt returning calls and email. She generated the documents needed quickly and everything went smoothly.- Micheal C. -
"Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case"
Katelynn took on a difficult and contentious case that other lawyers wouldn't touch with both grace and tenacity. I was seeking full custody of my son in a complicated situation, and Katelynn stood by me and supported me when I needed it, reminding me what I was fighting for and not letting me give up when it was difficult and I was scared.
She fought for me through the entire process, making sure I was not taken advantage of and received the best representation possible. When a crisis arose, she maintained a cool head and kept me calm, guiding me through the process to keep my family safe and make sure my family's long term safety remained the paramount concern at all times.
She advocated for me when I couldn't advocate for myself, and as a result, I have full custody today, but most importantly, my family is safe. I never could have made it through the process without Katelynn and her wisdom and strength. She is truly committed to fighting for her clients and will never give up on you! I could not recommend anyone more highly.- Marisa K. -
"I definitely recommend her to anyone going through any court system. She is very friendly and relatable!"
She made all the legal terms and everything super easy to understand and was very patient throughout the whole process of our custody case.- Elizabeth H.
