Legal Question in Immigration Law in Virginia

petition for name change for adults

I received my Certificate of Citizenship a week ago (automatically became a citizen in 2003 under my father who has naturalized) and I would like to go through the name change procedure. Where should I request my name change other than the court I reside in and how long would it take?

Re: petition for name change for adults

You should be able to pick up a packet of forms with instructions from the clerk's office(civil division) of your local circuit court as to how you can do a name change in the Commonwealth without the assistance of an attorney.

The packet I'm referring to should be entitled something like: "Name Change For An Adult".

The change must be done through the court and nowhere else.
