Question: I am 15 years old and have been using my mom's married name at school for 7 years. I want to change my name legally and do not want my legal name on my license. How do I do that? Thank you.
Answer: If you are under the age of 18, your parent, legal guardian or "next friend" must file a petition for name change with the superior court in your county. Many superior court clerk's offices have forms for this purpose. A superior court judge must then make a determination of whether the change of name is in your best interests. See ARS sec. 12-601.
