JeffCo Petition Generator – Adult Non-Felon

Below is an editable set of forms that are required by the Jefferson County Courts when you file your name change. This set of forms is for adults (over 18 years old) who do NOT have a felony conviction.

  • If you live in a county other than Jefferson, you must use the non-JeffCo forms.
  • If you have a felony conviction or were ever adjudicated as a juvenile delinquent, you must use the Felon process.
  • If you are preparing these forms for a minor (under the age of 18), you must use the Minor process.

These forms are offered as-is and your use of this automated generator DOES NOT constitute an attorney-client relationship with the Colorado Name Change Project or any of its Board/Staff/Volunteers.

After completing the form, when you click SEND, you will receive a message at the email address you provide with an ODT file attached.  This ODT file can be opened in MS Word (paid), OpenOffice (free) or LibreOffice (free).

Clicking SEND does not submit the forms to the court.

Tips:

  • Spelling is important, especially your new legal name.  If you misspell it and the judge grants your Petition, guess what:  your new legal name is, however you spelled it.  Double-triple check.
  • DO NOT SIGN the Petition at home.  It must be witnessed by either a notary or the Clerk of Court.

If this is overwhelming, that’s ok.  Come to one of our free monthly workshops where we explain the process fully.
