A legal name change lawyer practicing in Brooklyn can assist you with processing a minor’s name change.

For children under the age of 14 years, the name change petition of one parent and the consent of the other parent is required in Brooklyn Civil Court. If a parent is deceased, a copy of the death certificate should be provided in place of a consent affidavit. However, for minor children over the age of 14 years, an affidavit of consent from the minor living in Brooklyn will also be required. A copy of a photo identification of the minor living in Brooklyn should also be attached. This can be a school identification card or a passport photo.
