The Nevada name change for an adult as described in the State Code 41-270 is done by filing a petition to the county's civil court where you are a resident. It is easier, if you were just married, to have your certified marriage license with the raised seal or if you were recently divorced to have your divorce decree. Typically, you will not have a court hearing in Nevada but it depends on the circumstances of the name change.
REQUIREMENTS Must be a resident for at least 6 months If just married, must have your original marriage certificate. If just divorced, must have your divorce decree. Step 1 - Get the Nevada Notice of Petition and Nevada Civil Cover Sheet and completely fill it out along with 1 of the forms below that best fit you: Clark County Name Change Petition Douglas County Name Change Petition Washoe County Name Change Petition Nevada Name Change Petition Step 2 - Sign your forms in front of a notary public with the Nevada Affidavit of Petitioner. You can get your forms notarized at any branch bank in the United States.
Step 3 - Mail or hand-deliver your forms to the court where you reside and pay the filing fee. If you do not know the court simply look it up by using our List of Court Clerks in Nevada.
Step 4 - You will be instructed to publish your new name in the newspaper to run as instructed by the clerk as every county is different. The newspaper will send the clerk a 'Notice of Publication' once it has been fulfilled.
Step 5 - If no one objects to your new name, a hearing will not be scheduled, and you will be able to receive the Nevada Name Change Decree which is the official certificate that announces your new name. Use this at any public or private institution.
