I posted about this some months back and I'm hoping the same dudes (or even different ones) can give me info on how to change my name and gender marker if I was born in California and live in Idaho.  I can't afford to travel to CA, but from what I was told before, I wouldn't have to go there?  Hope somone can help!

As you know from previus posts of mine, I will soon be undergoing a legal change of my first and middle name.  However, my parents have expressed that if I change my name to my male name, I will no longer be welcome to use their last name, my birth last name--or my mom's maiden name, or any other family name, for that matter.  I feel that my birth ( Read more... )

I am trying to find out information about legally changing your name.  I am getting divorced in the near future (there is at 28 day waiting period) and I know you can change your LAST name when you get divorced, but what about your first and middle?  I changed my name when I got married, so I know how to go about making the name change on legal ( Read more... )

This is a little more involved than I normally get on here, but yesterday, it came to a point of my attention that my name/gender are, obviously, a point of discussion well outside of me asking to be called by my preferred name ( Read more... )

After a fight with my father, my mom took me out for a drive, just the two of us, and we started to talk about things. Various things. Eventually, the topic turned to me being trans, and I got up the courage (after several years) to tell her that I wanted to change my name. I beat around the bush a whole bunch and she told me the story of how I got ( Read more... )

I'm thinking of, when university starts back up in January, of returning and asking all of my teachers to call me Jeh (Jay). It's not my chosen male name, but it's an in-between, gender neutral name that I could use while I'm in the in-between, not quite passing yet mode ( Read more... )

I'm trying to get my name change sorted out, but the only real option I can seem to find is legalzoom.com. (I'm in Kansas) My question, though, is after I pay them to send me my paperwork, do I also have to then pay the court to get it done? Or rather, is it just one payment to legalzoom and then nothing more besides publishing it in the newspaper ( Read more... )
