Question:It is as simple as filing the paper work...and if there is no reason for them to deny it is almost guaranteed.

The main reason it is denied is if you are trying to change your name to avoid paying a debt. The only other reason that I have ever heard about is if it could be considered bad for the community...meaning usually a objectionable name such as B_te Me or something like that.

Almost any county clerk can provide the forms and tell you how to fill them out.

This is completely dependent on the laws of where you live.. which is not included as part of your question.
I suspect that "county clerk" is not applicable to your situation.

Contact the Clerk of the Court where you live. They will tell you what you need to do
