I've already gone through the courthouse stresses of divorce the past year and I didn't want to go through a similar experience with my name change - going back and forth to the courthouse with documents, printing issues, waiting in line month after month. A name change is a very meaningful thing. I was very serious about it but I didn't have the time or energy to figure it all out. I found EZ name change online through a google search for this service in California. I was a little worried it might be fake or not legit, but after reading the reviews I decided to give it a try and I'm so glad I did. The process was extremely simple and smooth. All I had to do was fill out one form and they did the rest. Great communication via email. When they filed the papers for me, they gave very clear instructions on what was coming next. Literally all I had to do was wait. Here are the steps the process took - 1. They contacted me and I filled out information. It was sent to me hastily and I signed and paid. 2. They did everything else and for the next few months I did absolutely nothing except wait for the result of my hearing date. And viola, my name is officially changed! Ben and George were the two people assigned to me and they both did a wonderful job of being kind and helpful. They always responded to me quickly. read more

Eric Selten is an amazing Professional person who will walk you through the proper and necessary steps in order to start and complete the process for Legal Name Change. I could not put into words how HAPPY and GRATEFUL I am to have confided my trust in Eric regarding having my daughters name changed legally. Eric walked me through the process step by step and always answered the questions I had with reassurance that everything will be fine! My story is that of a single parent striving to succeed in this world where society stigmatizes single woman. For me it was very hard to first get full custody and than years later when i was ready to complete my work and change my daughters last name so she would no longer be reminded of carrying a strangers last name. Eric has not only changed my life but impacted my daughter future. Thanks Eric for getting the job done! I am proud to say that this journey has come to an end and am thrilled to announce that my daughter now CARRIES my last name and has legally had her last name changed. I am thrilled and happy to have started this journey with Eric and the EZ Name Change Group in getting my daughters last name changed legally. Thanks i am forever grateful and hope you continue to impact the lives of others as you did for me and my daughter. THANKS !!!!!!!!!! read more

I just had my legal name change decreed by a judge last week, and I don't think I would have had the patience or tenacity to get this done on my own without the help of EZ Name Change. Their name says it all, because they made this process SUPER EASY for me! Yes, it cost me a few hundred dollars, but as extremely busy and stretched-thin as I am, it was worth every penny for EZ to do all the front-end leg work for me. It all went very quickly, and I didn't even have to produce any documentation at my court hearing -- just spend a minute or two explaining to the judge why I wanted to change my name, and it was done! (But I still brought all my documents with me just in case.) Beyond the convenience of using EZ, the head honcho there, Eric Selten, demonstrated such superb efficiency, responsiveness and professionalism, which is sadly the exception rather than the norm in this day and age. I had many questions during this process, and Eric responded to each one almost immediately. If only everyone in every industry conducted themselves like Eric, the world would be so much simpler and hassle-free for the rest of us! I can't say how EZ measures up to other companies offering the same service, but I cannot imagine how another company could have done a better job. read more

EZ Name Change speaks for itself!! Like to share my experience... Eric was very detailed about the process of name changing. Provided my information that was needed, he then went over the paperwork making sure everything was in order and correct. Sign/date on the doted line :) Filed the documents for me then listed my ad in the newspaper. And more along the way must I add!! Eric even provided me with a nice professional EZ Name Change court folder, that had information I could read over regarding name change, witch also had room for my documents I would travel with to my court hearing! Let me tell you I was at ease! I had tons of QUESTIONS and Eric was always available! Like on this particular day, I called on a Sunday afternoon the day before my court hearing, and remind you his office is closed on Sundays and he still answered! But with all that being said, Eric not one time made me feel, as if I was a bug a boo!! LOL... Felt as if I was calling someone in my family to get advice from! I would HIGHLY recommend EZ Name Change to you reading this & everyone I know! Truly appreciate his business/professionalism, and it couldn't have been any better! There is a such thing called "the EZ way"... because Eric, REALLY went the extra mile for me! read more

This business is definitely worthy of 5 stars PLUS. The best communication and service I have experienced from any business in years. I found EZ Name Change by chance while searching the Internet, and needless to say I was very happy I did. I had been putting off my name change for years because I just could not find the proper help and did not want to risk making mistakes doing it myself. After speaking with Eric Selten (part owner with his wife), I proceeded to fill out my name change application on their website. Since I live local to the business, I made a next-day appointment to sign my name change petition. Not only did I leave with copies of all pertinent paperwork, but was given a handy folder which included clear instructions as to what to expect in the weeks leading up to my name change, court hearing date. One of the most impressive aspects of dealing with Eric was that he was ALWAYS available for quick questions over the phone...and I had several of them during the entire process (even up to the day before my court hearing). From my initial consultation, to the "congratulations" email I just received, it has been a smooth, frustration-free process. Thank you, and keep up the good work EZ Name Change ! read more

I recently used EZ Name Change to update my legal name after marriage and I couldn't be more satisfied with the service.! The entire process was straightforward and hassle-free, living up to the "EZ" in their name. From the start, their website was user-friendly and provided clear instructions on what information and documents were needed. What stood out the most was their excellent customer support. Whenever I had questions, George was quick to respond, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful. He walked me through any uncertainties I had, ensuring I felt confident every step of the way. The turnaround time was impressive. After submitting my paperwork, I received regular updates on the status of my application, which kept me informed and at ease. The final documents arrived promptly, and everything was in perfect order. Overall, EZ Name Change made what could have been a complicated and stressful task into a seamless and efficient experience.

For years I had considered legally changing my name, but felt uncomfortable with all the different things I had to complete and didn't want to waste time or money by doing it improperly. On a fluke I found EZ and glad I did. Although I was planning on leaving LA for a couple months for work, Eric assured me it wouldn't be a problem. They'll send you all the necessary paperwork already compiled and filled out, with sticky notes directing you to where to sign, date, and write in your new name. And whether you contact them by phone or email, any questions or concerns you might have are quickly responded to and taken care of by Eric. Of course you need to pay for the court/publishing, and their service fee, but other than that I did absolutely nothing! I wasn't even in the state during the process. That's how EZ it is, Ha.. Definitely wish I found this service much sooner. If you're like me and easily get overwhelmed by forms and paperwork and all the other bureaucratic nonsense in this world, then EZ Name Change is definitely for you. read more

My wife and I started to do a name change for our Grandson, after several weeks of reading the information available I had all the paperwork and forms ready to submit and COVID-19, hit. Still feeling lost and confused, I contacted Eric at EZ Name Change and he quickly answered my questions, confirmed the process and asked them to take over this confusing task. Eric and his team did a great job and answered all of our questions and provided guidance and direction as needed. Wish I had found EZ Name Change sooner, since the process was much easier and they took care of everything except of course signing the required paperwork and attending the Court Hearing, which we did on line with a TEAMS meeting that went very well and we did it from home!! I highly recommend EZ Name Change and Eric did a great job keeping us informed with detailed answers and instructions in writing to make it easier to follow for each step. Worth the cost and thank you for your professional care and personal kindness. Doug & Patti read more

I've never left a review before because I've never felt compelled to do so. I would always read reviews and look at the dates they were written and compare them to earlier dates in the review and decide on someone at that point. Eric from EZ name change could not have picked a better name for his business. That's exactly what it was EASY! I was so stressed about having to get my son's named changed and the steps, time and money so I continued to put it off. I called Eric gave him our information and my son and I showed up for our court date May 3, 2017 and that was ALL I did. We were granted the new name and the very next morning we received a congratulations message from Eric wanting to be the first to share our good news. My only regret is that Eric only does name changes lol, I wish there was an Eric in everything and everywhere I had to do business. He's old school.....he does his job! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! Ty! read more

Look no further and hire Ez Name Change, Eric and Barbara are the best and make everything feel EZ. I hired Ez Name Change to help me with the process of changing my sons last name. I had researched how to file on my own but with so much required paperwork that had to be filled out I decided to look for someone who would do it for me. Luckily for me I found this company, I spoke with Eric , he gave me a quote and he informed me of the whole process . From the beginning Eric was very professional and courteous, If I had any questions and Eric was unable to answer my emails his wife Barbara would promptly reply with an answer. The whole process felt very quick, they took care of everything! I didn't have to worry about anything except showing up to court. I am very happy that I hired them ,everything worked out great with their help. I highly recommend hiring them, excellent customer service, you won't regret it. Eric and Barbara thank you for all your help! read more

I have for many years put off changing my daughter's name because I thought it would be a nightmare.....WRONG!!! I have never had such an easy, relaxing, stress free experience in dealing with anything legal in my life. Truly amazing!!!! I did my homework to make sure everything was above board and it is. They are registered with BBB, however I didn't feel the need to check that as I had a great feeling in talking with Eric over the phone and in person. He is extremely knowledgeable about the process and I was guided the whole way. Communication was fabulous as Eric is great in keeping open communication via email about the whole process. My daughter had a very beautiful experience and we are both so happy that we did what we did in adding a beautiful name that my Mother has always loved, to her name. THIS IS TRULY THE PLACE TO GO FOR A STRESS FREE AND FABULOUS EXPERIENCE IN YOUR NAME CHANGE. THANK-YOU ERIC! read more

I cannot say enough about the excellent service my two kids and I received from EZ Name Change and the wonderful business owner, Eric. At first, I was skeptical about the online service, but decided to use EZ Name Change after reading their good reviews. I am extremely satisfied with my decision.Despite of complicated aspects to our name change, Eric went above, beyond and made it completely painless process for us. All we had to do was just sign the petition forms and in our case, the petition was granted without even attending the court hearing. The business owner, Eric is very friendly person, yet he is professional,thorough,honest, excellent on follow-up and the fee is very reasonable. I absolutely recommend EZ Name Change for anyone who is in need of name change. You will be completely satisfied with their service and the outcome. Thank you so much, Eric! read more

I highly recommend EZ name Change!! I hardly ever write reviews, but this time I felt like I had to. I came here to read the Yelp reviews, trying to decide if I should go through with it-honestly, I'm really glad I did. I received excellent customer service from representatives Ben, George, and Vanessa, thank you for your responsiveness and helpfulness. It's also impressive how quickly my case progressed--from initiating the process on January 27, 2025, to having my hearing on April 14, 2025. This swift timeline is a testament to the efficiency of EZ Name Change's services. I went to court this morning, and the judge asked me to identify myself. He reviewed my information and said everything looked good, then directed me to the clerk's office to get my signed and certified copies of the name change court order. It was super quick. Thank you again EZ Name Change! read more
