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 was knowledgeable, kind, and efficient"
    Katelynn was knowledgeable, kind, and efficient and I am so grateful for her expertise! She made what could have been a very difficult situation very simple and easy. I would recommend her to anyone seeking solid legal representation.

  • "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!
    - Zach B.
  • "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.
  • "K. Mitchell Law changed my life!"

    K. Mitchell Law changed my life! Her hard work, preparedness, and diligence helped me receive the best possible outcome in my court case. If you ever find yourself in need of an attorney, Katelynn should be your first call!

    - Stephanie D.
  • "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.
