Not necessarily, but it would be difficult if you don't know the correct procedure. You may want to try Legal Aide. Absent that, you need to get a copy of the Florida Statute and track that. You will also need to be fingerprinted. Check with the Clerk of the Court for more information.

You need not hire an attorney to have a name change completed. However, you will have to pay the approximate $401 filing fee with the court. Check your local court for the exact filing fee.

If you should have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 1-800-408-5818.
