Name Change Resources 

 

 

To change your legal name, you will need to submit a petition for a name change. In Michigan, this is usually done in the circuit court in your county of residence. A more detailed page of instructions can be found here. The necessary forms can be found here.

Obtaining a legal name change in court does not automatically change the name on your birth record. That process can only be done through the Changes Unit in the State Vital Records office. Click here for more information. 

Listed below are Michigan counties in alphabetical order with links to the appropriate websites. Counties that do not have the information available on their websites are listed with their court phone number and address. Please check with your local county clerk to determine how to begin the name changing process.
