Do I need to bring my name change documents to a courthouse?

I see where I can fill the documents out online- I went to www.civiltree.com it was 70.00. I don't want to buy them just yet--

Should I do it like this? How does it work when you change your name online? Do you then have to pay more to finish them with a Notary or and a courthouse?Do I need to bring my name change documents to a courthouse?Think about it...if this was totally legit, criminals and prisoners could do name changes for a new identity.

Go to your local court house and start there

You can't legally change your name without a court appearance.
