Government agencies will accept a name change with a court order. This does not apply to children or prison inmates. You can ask the court to legally change the name you were given at birth, adoption, or marriage.In New York State, transgender and non-binary New Yorkers may change their sex designation on their identifying documents. This may be done at the same time that a name change petition is filed or on its own.Adult Name Change Petition Form:
