how long is name change going to take
- Category: Name Change
- Date:
- State: South Carolina
Answer:
The time it takes for a name change varies based on the caseload of the court where you file. We recommend contacting the clerk of courts at the Family Court for your Circuit to ask about specific time frames, as these can differ by court. Typically, a hearing is scheduled after you file the petition. If the court determines that the name change is not against the public interest, it will grant the name change order. The scheduling of the hearing depends on the court's and judge's availability.
