Answer:
In Illinois, a minor must have parental consent to change their name. A minor is defined as anyone under the age of 18. The court will only grant a name change if it finds that the statutory requirements are met and that the change serves the best interests of the child. Additionally, a name change cannot be used to evade legal obligations or to commit fraud.
