Step 3 - Mail or hand-deliver your forms to the court where you reside and pay the $82.00 filing fee. If you do not know the court simply look it up by using our List of Court Clerks in Nebraska.  Step 4 - You will be instructed to publish your new name in the newspaper to run for 4 weeks with at least one day per week your ad in publication. You will need to have the newspaper fill out a Legal Notice Form in order to prove that you in fact publicized your new name.  Step 5 - Upon showing up to your hearing, it is a good idea to have the Hearing Instructions that will guide you what to say in the court. You will have to bring a Nebraska Name Change Decree that the Judge will sign and will be your official certificate for changing your name at any public or private institution.
