About
NameRight started from a simple observation: people trying to change their legal name in the US were spending dozens of hours cross-referencing outdated PDFs, Reddit threads, and county clerk websites β only to still miss steps, overpay, or walk into court unprepared.
The existing options weren't built for the people who need this most. Marriage-name-change kits don't handle court petitions. Lawyers charge $500β$1,500 and stop at the court order. And free resources, while valuable, can't keep up with county-specific filing quirks that change every few months.
NameRight is an independent, privacy-first document preparation and guidance platform. We organize publicly available court requirements into structured, step-by-step workflows so you always know exactly what to do next β from the first court form to the last institution update after your order is approved.
We cover all 50 states at the state level, with county-level details available where verified. Our guides are built from official court and agency sources and structured into step-by-step workflows so you can understand the process without digging through scattered PDFs and court websites. Requirements can change, so always verify current details with the relevant court or agency before filing.
NameRight is not:
We provide structured guidance based on publicly available court information. Always verify current requirements with your local court or agency before filing. For legal advice specific to your situation, consult a licensed attorney.
NameRight is built and operated by a small, independent team. A real person reads every support message, and we prioritize privacy, billing, and data requests.
Many of our users depend on privacy for their safety β in hostile states, unsupportive families, or workplaces where being out could cost them their job. We built NameRight around that reality from the first line of code.
NameRight offers a free tier that gives you real, useful guidance β not just a teaser. Paid plans add deeper filing support, document preparation, and privacy tools. Every tier is a one-time payment with no subscription and no auto-renewal.
We also believe cost should never be the reason someone can't access legal identity paperwork. Our Community Access Program offers 30% off, 50% off, or free Complete access β no income verification, no proof uploads, no gatekeeping.
