In June 2003 a reader sent the following:
I found a site that has legal forms that can be filled out online and printed.
http://www.co.clark.nv.us/District_court/self_help_center_name_change.htm
The forms only apply to Clark County, Nevada (Las Vegas, Green Valley, Laughlin, and Boulder City)
In July 2003 I got this note:
I had my name legally changed in Carson City, Nevada in Sept of 1998. The fee was $650.00, handled by a lawyer. In my case it was paid for by the state as I was in a job rehabilitation project and had a sympathetic case manager but I believe the fee would have been the same if paid for by myself (price may have changed by now). I did not have to appear in court, the lawyer handled eveything and I received my certified papers about 4 weeks after seeing the lawyer. The notice was published in the Reno paper, which is also sold here, but I never had any comments from people I had known about it. I had checked into the ‘do it yourself’ method and had heard it was a hassle with lots of running around, misdirection by court employees, numerous notifications of incomplete and incorrectly filled out documents, etc.
