Re: name change
Go to www.courts.state.md.us/family/forms/namechange.html and access the forms you will need to complete and file in the circuit court of your county. There will be a filing fee, probably $100, and it's possible you may have to publish a newspaper notice, but complete the "order waiving publication" form to avoid this expense. Usually the process can be completed in 60 days or so.
