How do you get a name change, in Canada?

I just dont like my name. I just want to change my first name only.



I know what I want it to be, I would like details on how I can change it and what I need to do like prices, do I need to be born here, where do I go?



I live in Ontario (incase its a province thing) and was born in canada, but I am originally from Lebanon.How do you get a name change, in Canada?Since you were born in Canada, a change of name is simple. The fact that you're of Lebanese ethnicity doesn't make any difference, because you are legally Canadian.



If you want to change your name in Ontario, you must haved lived there for at least one year, and you must be over 16 years old to be able to change your name by yourself.

Try Dept. of Vital Statistics in Toronto. They will certainly point you in the right direction.
