A person must be eighteen years old to file a Petition for a Name Change. The exception is if you have been declared an Emancipated Minor, then you can Petition for Change of Name as an adult. See California Code of Civil Procedure, Section 1276a and California Family Code, Sections 7000-7002 and 7120-7123.
For children under eighteen, one or both parents, a legal guardian, an adult or other legally responsible entity can file the Petition. A judge of the Superior Court in the County where the minor resides will decide whether to grant or deny the Petition. See California Code of Civil Procedure, Sections 1275-1279.5
