From a reader in February 2005:
I wanted to give you an update on the forms and costs for name changes in
Hawaii. I just did mine in the past month and this site has the newer information
compared to what I sent to you earlier.
Lt Governor James R. "Duke" Aiona Jr., State of Hawai'i - Name Changes
http://www.hawaii.gov/ltgov/office/name.html
It's a very simple process that only takes a couple of weeks. I submitted
my forms and a copy of my birth certificate on December 29, 2004, paid $50.00
and got the preliminary form back from the Lt. Governor on January 5, 2005.
I took the preliminary approval to a newspaper on January 19 and had it published
on January 20 for $50.00. I received the formal approval on January 24 and
had it recorded on January 27, 2005. I could have done it much faster if I
had chosen to. Had I submitted the name change notice for publication right
away I would have had the final document recorded by mid-January.
I have had all of my legal documents changed as of February 10, 2005 albeit
not totally satisfactorily because Honolulu will not change the M to F on
my license until I have completed SRS.
I hope this is helpful.
