I want to get a legal name change because the name I was given is the name of a rock group and
i am very unhappy with it. I've gone by the 'new name' for a long time and i just want it to be official.
I was wondering how much the fees are in West Virginia.
Thank you for anyhelpHow much does it cost to change your name in WV?In Kanawha County, WV, the court filing fee is $145.00 and you must also pay to publish a legal notice in your local newspaper. These court and newspaper fees will vary a little from county to county in WV.How much does it cost to change your name in WV?You will probably have to petition the court to change your name, and then once it is granted, you will have to pay a fee for the change on your birth certificate at The Bureau of Vital Statistics or whatever like entity you may have in WV.
A petition to the court in my state (Montana) costs around $120 and then the BC change is another $25. Your state fees may vary.
