Best Answer

If you do everything yourself, it costs about $515. This amount is for court filing and newspaper advertising (required by California Code of Civil Procedure 1277a). Some counties charge more for a filing fee and some counties have newspapers that charge more...or less.

To change your records with Social Security, DMV, Passport, School, etc., you'll need a Certified Copy of the Court Order you receive. Certified Copies cost $25.50 each and some courts give you 1 or more with your signed Decree.

If you have a Name Change service company help you, add at least $115 more. If you have a lawyer help you, add at least $500 to $1,000 more.
