My question involves name change laws in the State of: Arizona
Hi all, first post.
I got a legal name change in Yuma County, Arizona in April of 2014. I kept my last name, made my middle name my new first name, and got a new middle name.
After doing all this, the same month I submitted a birth certificate correction form to the City of New York so I can get a new birth certificate and also get passport with my new name. New York rejected my birth certificate correction on the basis that I did not pay the correct filing fees.
I lost interest and 3 years later (this past April), I decided to resubmit my birth certificate correction to New York again and I made sure I paid the correct filing fees. This time however they rejected me on a technicality on my name change court order: I had put my place of birth on my court order as New York, NY when according to the rejection letter, its supposed to be Queens, NY. They told me I need to get an amended court order now to reflect my correct birth city.
I live in Phoenix now and have no time to go down to Yuma. I got in touch with someone from the yuma clerks office and she directed me to the website to get an amended petition and amended order but I have no idea what she was talking about as all I see is the name change document and that redirects me to maricopa county.
Can someone assist me with what forms I would need please and where to find them? The lady told me but I just don't see them. Also Would I have to still go through Yuma county superior court or can I make it easier and do it in Phoenix where I currently live? Thanks!
