do you know if this is possible in the states? (hiiiighly doubtful but jus askin ya know)

I know in my county they'll wave filing fees if you are low income. See if your county court has a website; odds are it'll be listed there if they will waive fees.

I'm in New Hampshire, and it cost me $90, and was pretty quick and simple.  It was one of the few times I was glad to live in NH.

WI $350 including filing fees, newspaper and birth cert.

I know in my county as well they let people file as indigent and wave the court fees. I didn't find this out until after I got my job 

Brendon is right but also you could call or it could be a good idea to go down to your court house and ask. Something about face to face seems to work better than calling.

Thanks for all the info guys (and sharing)

Here in Victoria,( Australia not BC!), $89 to Births ,Deaths and Marriages, no other procedures, ads etc.
No charge for Driver's Licence car reg etc.

Alabama.

Name change form: $35-60.
Filing fees: $50.
Birth certificate: $5. (A guess, since that's how much regular copies cost.)
Each copy of the name change: $5.
Convincing my mother to let me get it changed with my money: Three livers and a human heart.

In Germany it is effing expensive, because it just can be done via court. You need 2 reports from therapists who really know about trans stuff and who'll confirm your transsexuality. One of them can be the therapist you are seeing anyway. Now, those reports cost a fortune.
I have heard between 1500 to 3000 Euros. Crazy.
Compared to that, name change that is not related to trans only costs 250 Euros. Yeah.

I live in Missouri and when i asked a lawyer he said everything plus lawyer fees would be about 900dollars.......................so i called the court house to find out how to get the forms and how to file it and stuff and the clerk said she had no clue, you have to talk to a lawyer.......................but other people have said they filed on there on and it was like 300...................
Does anyone have info on how to get a name change form for MO and all that stuff?

Does this help a little?

There's also this generic form:

$137. - Ontario Canada.

Pretty cheap and simple compared to most places. It's one 20 page form, sent away for 6-8 weeks and that's it. Changing all my cards, like health card and SIN card, have been free.  Oh I did have to buy stamps and an envelope though lol.

Anyone know about the cost and how to go about it in California?

it cost $50.65 USD in south Africa

In Kentucky it cost me $60.00. I just went down to the county clerks office and showed my birth certificate, filled out a form and payed the fee. Then in about a week I got my official name change documents that had been approved by a judge in the mail. Pretty darn cheap and really simple.

In Tennessee, for most counties (except all the ones AROUND my county xD), it's $35 for the papers, $147 for the filing. You often have to pay for a notification in the local newspaper, and then you get a court date.
I've filled out my forms, but I have no transportation and I need to get a new Social Security card, seems I lost mine in Germany...

I'm pretty sure that in the UK it's only £10, which works out at about $16 unless there's anything else that you have to do other than a deed poll.  It seems too cheap and simple...
