Application For Change Of Name For Minor Child {CVNCM11f}

CVNCM11f - APPLICATION FOR CHANGE OF NAME FOR A MINOR CHILD (A.R.S. § 12-601). This form is used in the Superior Court of Arizona, Maricopa County, by a parent, guardian, or other applicant seeking a legal name change for a child. The form requires detailed information about both the applicant and the minor, including their full legal names, addresses, county of residence, dates and places of birth, and the relationship of the applicant to the child. It also specifies the new name requested for the child and provides space for the applicant to explain the reasons for the name change. The applicant must affirm under oath that the request is being made solely in the best interests of the child, is not intended to avoid legal obligations, and will not affect property or legal rights tied to the original name. Additionally, the form clarifies that a name change will not establish paternity or add a father’s name to the birth certificate. Once signed before a notary or court clerk, the application is submitted for the court’s review and approval, after which the child’s legal and official records, including birth records, can be updated to reflect the new name. www.FormsWorkflow.com
