Miami-Dade County has updated their process and no longer requires that pro se litigants seeking to file name change petitions must either be represented by an attorney or must use the Miami-Dade County Self-Help Center. You can file your name change petition pro se using the forms you completed on this site. You need to be sure to file a "Waiver of Mandatory Self Help Review" - which you can download here and file with your name change petition.
If you would like assistance in filling out and filing the name change paperwork, you can contact TransSOCIAL
