First you or your lawyer need to file a petition in court to legally change her name. You will have to fill in a couple of forms and pay a fee ($150-$300) depending on the state you live in.

How do you change your last name legally?

It depends on which State you are going to be changing your name. Although, the process always starts with the filing of a name change petition in your State and most often at the county court clerk's office where you file, they will provide the instructions to get your name change decree.

What happen when you change your name?

Hello. I am a a Lawyer from Ireland and the law here and it is acceptable for you to change your name but as long as it has been changed legally ! And when it is changed... I guess that's your new name.. And you would preferably want to change your id, visa, licence, and passport. Hope this helps.Added: (in the US) For OTHER than a marriage - you will be required to petition the court (file a motion) with the court system of your jurisdiction. If it is granted, it is up to YOU to make official notification of your legal name change to as many places that already have your former name on file. Depending on your age this could amount to quite a lot of notification. For instance, just for starters, your state DMV - the Social Security Administration - the US Passport Office - your employer - all your bank accounts - all your lienholders - all your credit card issuers - etc - etc - etc. It is not as easy as it seems at first glance but others have successfully done it in the past. Just don't approach it thinking that it's a simple and easy process.

As long as she wants to as well then it can be done. How you go about doing it depends on if she is a minor or not, and what state you live in. If I were you I would stroll into the City hall or community center.
