does it cost alot to change your name
Best Answer: The cost depends on the state, but the average cost for a legal name change is $100 (court costs). You don't mention if you are an adult or a minor. An adult may file a name change application with a court after living in that jurisdiction for at least 12 months.ach state has its own forms and requirements. Search on Your State and name change to find the laws and forms. After the court grants you the name change, you'll still have to change all your other records including Social Security and drivers license and any other legal documents.
