Another update

You don't need any forms of ID for name change.

The only things you need to file in PA are:

Fingerprint Card
1 - 8 1/2 x 11 envelope addressed to state police
2- letter size envelope. One addressed to court house and the other to yourself.
Name change petition.

They send your fingerprints to state police. It takes about 4 weeks.

Once they receive it. They will send a letter in the mail. You will come back and schedule a date for the hearing. You will also advertise in legal journal and post gazette/trib.

Than you will have your court hearing. and name change is done!!!
