Making a request after 23 June 2024

On 24 June 2024, new laws start that affect changing your name as an adult in Queensland.

The purpose of this policy is to outline the processes, and legislative and policy considerations, for registration of name changes for children under the Births, Deaths and Marriages Registration Act 2023.

This policy addresses:

  • who is eligible to apply for a name change or to note a name change
  • limits on the number of name changes a person can have as an adult
  • documents and information needed to support a change of name application
  • additional requirements for some change of name applications
  • how a change of name application is considered and why it may be refused.
