 I want to go back to using my maiden name. Do I need to do anything? |
You do not have to go through a legal name change to go back to using your maiden name. However, if you changed your legal documentation to reflect your married name and want to have your maiden name on it, you may have to secure a Court order to return to your maiden name. If you are in the process of a divorce, the Family Court may order your name changed back to your maiden name.
| | How much will it cost to change my name? |
Name changes are relatively inexpensive and simple. The filing fee is $75.00.
| | What is the Vermont Statue for changing a name? |
The Vermont Statute for Changing a name is 15 VSA Sec. 811-816 and can be found at Vermont Statutes Online
| | What requires an official name change? |
Common everyday usage does not require a legal change of name. If you decide that you want to start calling yourself a different name, you are free to do so, as long as it is not for an illegal purpose. A legal name change is required when you want to start doing legally binding business under your new name or use the new name on official documentation, such as a passport.
