FAQs — Legal Name Change in Ontario

  • 1. How long does it take to change my name in Ontario?

    Most legal name changes are completed within 6–8 weeks, depending on ServiceOntario processing times.

  • 2. Can I change my child’s name without the other parent’s consent?

    It depends on your custody arrangement. In many cases, we can help even without consent. Let’s review your situation.

  • 3. What’s the difference between a legal and assumed name?

    A legal name change updates your birth certificate, health card, SIN, and ID. An assumed name does not.

  • 4. How much does it cost?

    Our flat-fee services are quoted upfront. You’ll also pay the Ontario government’s name change fee (about $137 as of Sept 2025). No surprises.

  • 5. I live outside Ontario — can I still change my name here?

    Yes, if you were born in Ontario or have Ontario residency, we can assist virtually from anywhere in Canada or abroad.
