Now I just have to get the paperwork in the mail for a hearing! So excited!
Congratulations. ;D ;D ;D
I got my name changed near the end of last year, the initial names I wanted I would not get but the lady who handled it was amazing and helped me sort it out, and quickly aswell.
It was a amazing change for me, I no longer had two names, one that I used when I was around people, and another when it came to more offical business.
So again, big congratulations.
Congrats! Im doing this soon i hope. Im filing my papers this week but i cant find the fee waiver form lol
Thats awesome! ;D When I changed my name I just had to go to their office, hand in my paper work and pay the fee. Then about a week later I got my new certificates in the mail.
Congrats! It's a great feeling and makes life so much easier when your documents get changed.
Congrats!
I want to do this so bad...everything at my university is electronic and tied to my birth name. Homework submissions, email address, rosters. So after introducing myself as one name, I pretty much have to bring up the old name if people want to email me or anything. Awkwaaaaard.
Thanks all!
My university is the same. I can't wait to change everything.
I just went in and turned in the forms and paid the fee and I'm waiting on all my paperwork to come in the mail so I can go to my court date.
Oh I just did this (I'm almost finished, just got my social insurance left). It's such a pain in the butt lol. I recommend making a list, if you haven't already, of all the things that need changing. Given I also changed my gender on everything while I was at it, but it's taken a while o_O But it's so much fun, i'm happy for you mate! I love telling people my name and having to sign for stuff.
Congrats, man!
Congrats man that's exciting
Congrats!
Grats! I did mine last year, and it is so much better when you can start flashing pieces of paper with a gender-appropriate name on them. :)
When is your hearing?
March 20th. Coming up soon!
Congrats man.
I'm planning on doing this soon, though I had surgery in January and still haven't done it... I'm mostly just nervous to get it going since I don't know what I'm doing lol

What state do you live in Wolf Man? I've found basically step-by-step guides on changing your name for 2 different states, there's probably one out there for your state if you can find a state-specific trans website for where you live.
I live in Southern California. A step-by-step would be great because I've found the forms and I've found the court house I need to go to, but I haven't a clue on what I do there. I'm not the type to jump into things and just play it by ear either.
Sorry for going off topic btw.

Here you go: http://www.lgbt.ucla.edu/transresources.html#Legal (http://www.lgbt.ucla.edu/transresources.html#Legal) That's an expensive filing fee, they really get you there in CA.
Edit: BTW, clerks or their assistants are usually really helpful (just don't go about an hour before they close, or on Fridays :P ). They're not allowed to give legal advice, but for anything else, they're usually willing to hold your hand and walk you through things.
