You can ask to change your name to almost anything you want. But there are some limitations.
You can't ask to change your name...
- to avoid creditors, fines, or sentences in criminal actions
- to commit fraud
- to change your name to something bizarre, unduly lengthy, ridiculous, or offensive to common decency
- If you are not currently committed to the custody of the Utah Department of Corrections or being supervised on probation or parole by Adult Probation and Parole Utah Code 64-13-1
You must also have lived in the county where you will file your paperwork for at least one year.
