Through The Name Change Project, we’ve now supported over 400 individuals in legally changing their names. This service is available to transgender, nonbinary, and gender non-conforming people in Winnebago and Boone Counties who have lived in Illinois for at least 3 months.
How Our Process Works
Step 1: Complete the Name Change Registration Form
Step 2: LIAM Determines Your Eligibility for Assistance
Step 3: Review and Sign Participant Agreement
Step 4: Make a Plan to Visit Our Center or Make an Appointment
We look forward to helping you, meet your goals! Please contact us with any questions.
Note: LIAM does not directly represent individuals seeking legal name changes. Instead, LIAM aids participants in the Name Change Project with filing pro se—everyone has the right to file an action on their own. However, remember that as a pro se litigant, you are representing yourself.
