Question:

Anyone have any experience on legally changing their name?

I have been thinking about legally changing my name. No, I am not getting married, divorced, or getting a sex change- I am doing it for other personal reasons. Since I feel this is a serious thing, I wanted to know if anyone out there has had experience with it. I have researched it somewhat and still have more to do. ALSO- does anyone know the last name: Legna ? I was wondering what the geneology or heritage of it was. Thanks!

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: What you need to do is go to Births, Deaths and marriage's, which is a government departmant get your self a change of name form and fill it in.
You will need your original birth certificate, passport and for a small fee you can have it done.
