Existing law establishes the procedure for a person to change their name. When a proceeding for a change of name is commenced by the filing of a petition, existing law requires the court to issue an order reciting the filing of the petition, the name of the person by whom it is filed, and the name proposed. Existing law requires that the fee for certifying a copy of any paper, record, or proceeding on file in the office of the clerk of any court is $40. Existing law requires that the fee for preparing a copy of any paper, record, or proceeding on file is $.50 per page. This bill would require that up to 3 copies of the order granting the petition for change of name be provided at no charge to the petitioner at the time the petition is granted.
