How to Prepare a Name Change Petition?
Reasons Sought in Name Change Cases
The petition must be prepared in accordance with the principles and conditions specified in the law. The petition is first addressed to the court. The TC identity information is written on the petition addressed to the Civil Court of First Instance. After entering the name, surname, identity no, and address information, you add your justified reason for the name change. Witness will always be a more convincing evidence in these cases and will shorten the trial process. After all this information is submitted to the court, a date is set for the court. And the case is concluded on the same day.
Can a Name Be Changed to Avoid Certain Obligations?
If the name is a name that will be a subject of ridicule in society or among friends, this is considered a reason. Or if the name is contrary to national culture, customs, and traditions, it is a valid reason for change. Having a name that is contrary to personal relationships and causes problems in job applications is also considered a valid reason for a name change lawsuit. A lawsuit can also be filed for word errors and inaccuracies related to the Population Directorates. In the lawsuit you file with the justification you provide, your purpose will also be clearly understood by the judge. Therefore, filing a lawsuit to avoid some obligations would be an extremely wrong request. In such cases, detailed research is done and the decision is made accordingly.
