Thanks Mr. Knowitall.
State is California. I left that part out since I thought it didn't apply in this specific case.
That's where I was born and last state I lived in.

According to http://www.courts.ca.gov/22489.htm
"... you will get a court date between 6 and 12 weeks away."

Looking at form NC-100

"The petition for change of name must be filed in the superior court of the county where the person whose name is to be changed presently lives.".

I guess this means that I have to be currently living in the US in order to do this and show up for the court hearing in the US.



Hi llworking
Yeah, I want to change my last name on my birth certificate, social security, etc.
I'm doing this for personal reasons, not because of marriage.
Then I think that you want to be consulting with a California attorney. An attorney should be able to manage it with the minimum necessary personal appearance from you.
