Kansas custom welcomes self-representation in legal matters like name changes. Minors must have an adult file their name change petition on their behalf. While anyone has the right to change their name, minors cannot petition for a name change by themselves; they must have an adult file the petition on their behalf, as their “next friend.”
Minors do not need legal representation to petition for a name change. Petitions may be granted with a minor’s parents’ approval. Clerks may not deny transgender youth and their families the opportunity to file a name change petition if their filing satisfies basic statutory requirements.
How do I change my child’s last name? If you want to change the child's last name to that of either parent's name, and the child is under the age of 18, the parents can appear before a Kansas judge in any courthouse in Kansas and complete a VS211 Paternity Consent for Birth Registration Form (PDF).
