On 24 June 2024, new laws started that affect changing your child’s name 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 for a child
  • limits on the number of name changes a child can have
  • 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.
