UPDATE: AS OF APRIL 9, REGISTRATION IS FULL FOR THIS EVENT. Thank you for your interest.

NORRISTOWN – Registration is open for a Montgomery County Virtual Name Change Clinic Wednesday, April 24, 2024. The clinic is open to Montgomery County residents ages 18 and older, including those in the transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming communities. The clinic is via Zoom from 4-6 p.m.

Register by Wednesday, April 10: https://bit.ly/NameChange-4-24-2024

Each participant will be assigned a 30-minute appointment slot with a volunteer attorney who will assist with the name change petition process. This can include answering questions, offering advice, and helping prepare paperwork. An attorney might also represent their assigned client (or clients) on their petition hearing date.

This consultation is free for all participants. However, clinic participants will be responsible for paying for associated costs for the name change petition, such as fingerprinting services and court fees.

The Montgomery Bar Association (MBA) and Montgomery County Prothonotary's Office are co-organizing and running the clinic.

The name change process can be intimidating, particularly if a person has little to no experience with civil court. The Virtual Pro Bono Name Change Clinic provides guidance for the petition paperwork and support for the individual with pro bono representation on the day of the hearing.

“My office continues to assist those that have historically been marginalized,” said Prothonotary Noah Marlier. “Helping those in our community who need help the most is integral to our mission. We are so happy and proud to host our third Name Change Clinic"

“The Montgomery Bar Association is delighted to again host our annual name change clinic with the Montgomery County Prothonotary’s Office," MBA Executive Director Denise Vicario said. "It is a privilege to serve Montgomery County, and the Name Change Clinic provides a wonderful service to our community. Name change hearing day has become one of the highlights of our calendar!”

For more information, contact Ann Cornell, Prothonotary Office’s Outreach and Communications Director, at 610-278-3857 or ann.cornell@montgomerycountypa.gov.
