Pima County Superior Court provides two options for applicants seeking a name change. An applicant can file their application and request a telephonic hearing or can appear in person on Thursday mornings.
If you file your application and request a hearing date, the Court will provide you with notice of your hearing date by mail. Hearings are generally set within 30 days of the application being filed. The hearings will be set by remote means, but an applicant may appear in person if the applicant wants to attend court in person. The hearing usually takes about 5 minutes. If the judge grants your application, a finalized copy of your order will be mailed to you. In most cases, you should receive your order within 7-10 days of your hearing date.
If you prefer to walk in for a same day name change, you may come to the Pima County Superior Court on Wednesday or Thursday mornings between 8:00 a.m. and 10:00 a.m. You must bring a completed name change packet with you. When your packet is filed, you will be escorted to a courtroom for a hearing when a judge is available. If your application is granted at the hearing, your order will be processed and given to you before you leave the building. Please be prepared to be at the Courthouse for up to two and half hours to finalize all necessary steps of the name change process. You will not receive a set hearing time and may have to wait for a period of time for your hearing.
The necessary paperwork and instructions for either name change procedure described above can be found here. CHANGE MY NAME
