In Australia, anyone can change their
name. Name change is a straightforward process.
It is legal in Australia to assume any name you
choose, as long as your intention is not to
defraud anyone. You are not legally required by
law to formally register your new name.
However, many organisations require proof of
identity (for example, banks), so if you change
your name you might want official evidence of
the change. For this reason you might prefer to
record a new name or alteration of a name by
registering a legal Change of Name.
The Births, Deaths and
Marriages Registry in your state or
territory have the forms for a legal change of
name.
