hope it helps.How much does it cost to change your first or last name?its $500 and its a hell of a long as procedure it will be about like 300 pages and soo many letters and phone calls and yea.How much does it cost to change your first or last name?Unless you put it in your question, we can't tell what country you are in. It is the most frustrating thing Yahoo does. It doesn't matter if you go into domestic Yahoo or one of the International Yahoos - UK, Australia, Canada, India - all of the questions in English go into one big %26quot;pot%26quot;.



In Stanislaus County, California, you call the clerk at the county courthouse. You fill out a form and pay $320. You also take out a Legal Notice in a local newspaper for four weeks. That cost is in addition to the $320. If no one objects, you get your decree.



Every time you apply for a new passport, driver's license, etc. you will need to mail in or show a notarized copy of the decree. If you have to mail one in and don't get it back, chalk up another $25 or so.



The procedure is the same in all counties in California, although the cost may vary. I suspect the procedure is about the same in most states in the USA, although the cost and the length of time may vary.



If you are in the UK, say so and one of the UK people will explain deed polls to you.



The cost will be the same no matter what length your new name is; Stanislaus Jablonski or Joe Fox, it is one price.
