For more information as to which counties have transferred files, contact us by email at msa.helpdesk@maryland.gov or by phone at 410-260-6487.

This form should only be used to request a Name Change document within a court case file. Please specify which document(s) is/are needed.

Fees
The non-refundable and non-transferrable fee is $25.00 per copy. All government-created Name Change Decrees will be certified.

Please Note: An order consists of searching for one record, one name, one year, one place based on the information you provide. The Archives cannot guarantee results. If the search provides no record matching the information given, the fee is not returned, and you will be mailed a notification letter from the Archives.

Another search of additional names, years, or counties will require a new order.
