Application for Change of Name of a Minor Child

You may use the forms on this page if the following factors apply to your situation

• You want to ask the Court to change the name of a person under 18 years of age who resides in the county where you are filing this request, AND,
• You are that child's parent or guardian.

DO NOT USE THESE FORMS TO ADD A FATHER'S NAME TO BIRTH CERTIFICATES OR ESTABLISH PATERNITY.

NOTE: For information about name changes that can be obtained without going to court, such as to correct a birth certificate within five years of birth, visit the web site of the Arizona Bureau of Vital Records.

The State Vital Records Office at 1818 W. Adams, Phoenix, AZ 85007, is only available for mail-in service. Vital Records general telephone number is 602-364-1300. Please call for another walk-in location. A fee is required for a change to any birth certificate.
