1. Step 1: Get a court order for your name change

   Mark done
   • Oregon lets you ask a circuit court to change your legal name and/or your sex on record through the same petition process. You complete a statewide Name and Sex Change Packet plus a Name Change – Supplemental form, then file them with the court in person or by US mail.

   Cost: This page does not list a filing fee. Contact the circuit court where you file for the current amount.

   Varies by court/clerk.

   More detail

   • After you file, the court opens a case, reviews your documents, and contacts you about your next step — which may include a hearing before a judge. Minor applicants use a separate, additional packet with its own requirements.
