Title: Moving Forward . . . Legally Changing My Name . . .
Post by: gina_taylor on March 18, 2006, 08:58:59 AM
Yesterday, I was going past the Justice Center, which is in another part of town,  and I decided to stop by and inquire about legally changing my name. I was told to go to one floor, so I did. The clerk told me to go to another floor, so I followed her directions, and I was told that I'd have to fill out some forms get fingerprinted and pay $255.00 and if  the Judge approves the name change, my name will be legally changed within a month! :) I'm really excitted!  8)

What a great step. I know that was one of my biggest moments in transitioning. I got my license done the same day. That was my biggest moment. I was legally Female and my name change all in the matter of hours. You go girl.
Love Sheila
