How to Change Your Name in California

by Lisa Sedano

Divorce, complicated spelling, tricky pronunciation, personal preference -- any of these may convince you that it's time for a new name. And although the rules have changed recently, it's still a relatively straightforward procedure.

How to Change Your Name in California provides step-by-step instructions and all the forms you need to:

*choose a name and make it your own

*change back to your former name after divorce

*change your child's name

*get a new or amended birth certificate for you or your child

*get a new driver license, Social Security card and passport

*get a court to recognize a change of gender

The 11th edition reflects the latest rules and regulations stemming from the Patriot Act and the rise of identity theft, and provides the latest forms as tear-outs.

I wasted my money on this one. This book doesn't have any information which is not available for FREE (I repeat FREE) here: http://www.courts.ca.gov/1051.htm#howto - - in fact the book itself refers you to this site (over and over again) every time it begins a discussion on the required legal forms, so why not skip the book and go directly to the FREE self-help section Los Angeles Superior Court website.
