I’m trying to get my name changed before my birthday on 11/04. I’ve got student loans and will need to take them with me. Just started looking into this—any advice on how to handle it?
In Idaho, there’s a 6-week wait after you file the petition. You might need to file ASAP to meet your timeline.

Got it! If I go tomorrow, do you think it’ll work out?

Depends on court availability. File soon, but it’s up to their schedule.
How does this affect your student loans though? Do you need to update them too?

Yeah, I’ll need to inform them. Heard they might have rules about name changes.

FYI, some loans require notification, or they could call the loan immediately. Just keep them updated and you’ll be fine.
Why 11/04 specifically? Just curious.

It’s my birthday, lol. Wanted it done before then!
Court scheduling is tight these days. Might be worth checking availability before filing.

Thanks, will do! Hoping they’ve got slots before my deadline.
Wait, what’s a petition? Do you need a lawyer for this?

It’s just the paperwork you file to request the name change. A lawyer isn’t required but can help.

Oh okay, good to know. Thanks!
