LGBTQ+ Name Change Class and Clinic

Legal Aid of Nebraska will offer a free name change clinic and class for LGBTQ+ adults to assist with the often overwhelming name change process. This event will not address name changes for children.

The class will be an informational meeting reviewing the name change process, including filing and publishing. The clinic will allow participants to complete name change paperwork and work with an attorney.

Pre-registration for the CLINIC is required. Class participants are encouraged to pre-register but it is not mandatory.
