Just back from the lawyer's office. I have legally changed my name - goodbye Victoria Ann

hello Mark Charles!

I am so excited...just had to let a few people know! Now I can change my driving licence, bank accounts and passport, and apply for jobs as Mark without feeling like a fraud. Woo hoooooo!

Congrats Mark!

I have all the paperwork and everything ready to change my name and gender marker I just need the money. Ug Christmas taking all my cash.

Is it expensive in the US? It only normally costs £30-40 to change your name by deed-poll here in the UK. As my wife works for a lawyer, it only cost me £5. Sounds like I'm luckier than I thought.

Andy · December 15, 2010, 04:13:36 PM

That's fantastic! Congrats.

Depends on the state ... some are as little as $75 and I have seen some are around $500 - and that's if you do it yourself. If you hire an attorney the cost goes up

Lee · December 15, 2010, 05:06:03 PM

It's around $50 here. (Colorado)

Squirrel698 · December 15, 2010, 06:16:02 PM

Damn I wish it was as cheep as that. It's $550 here.

I didn't know how much cheaper it was other places. That pisses me off a bit.

It probably has to do with the notice in the paper for 6 weeks and the fee to go to court.
