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 listens and really cares about her clients."
    She was very prompt at answering any of my questions regarding my case. I highly recommend her.
    - Hilary N.
  • "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.
  • "Katelynn is great!"
    Katelynn is great! If you are going through a divorce, you should contact her. Divorce and custody issues are very difficult but she made the entire process easy and as painless as possible. Katelynn was always fast to respond if I had questions or needed more information. She was professional, kind, and understanding. Hopefully, I won't need legal assistance in the future but if I do, I wouldn't hesitate to work with Katelynn again.
    - Mike 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.
