Name Change

A name change refers to the legal process by which an individual or entity alters their name. This can occur for various reasons, such as marriage, divorce, personal preference, or correcting a name that was misspelled at birth. The process typically involves filing a petition with a court or relevant authority, and may require public notice. Once approved, the new name is recognized in legal documents, identification, and other official records. Name changes can help individuals align their identity with their personal choices or circumstances.
