Last name change

Ask a Lawyer

Question

Country: United States of America
State: NevadaI need to change my last name back to my birth name. I was legally adopted when I was 9 years of age. Do I need to have a lawyer to go thru with this process? Also I was charged with a felony when I was 17, but now I am 22 and want to know if this is going to cause any problems?

Answer

You may contact your county clerk and they will normally have forms etc. It is not too complicated and often can be done with a lawyer though you will likely have to appear in court at least once.
