As of October 2025, processing times for legal name change petitions to get signed orders have significantly changed in the Manhattan Civil Court. What used to take approximately 2 to 3 weeks now takes approximately 6 to 8 weeks due to backlogs in the court system. There is limited manpower despite the large influx of new cases due to the real ID law. Expect a waiting time of at least a month and a half to get your name change order signed.
