Before the court will hear your name change petition, you must have your fingerprints submitted for a state and national criminal history records check.

Have your fingerprints taken and submitted through one of the Livescan Device Vendors and Service Providers that are compliant with both FDLE and FBI regulations and standards.  Download the file to see a list of vendors.

A few tips for the fingerprinting process:
  • You must bring a picture ID - a Florida Driver's License is preferred.
  • Very important - Provide the Originating Agency Identification (ORI) Number - FL923990Z (the "0" before the "Z" is a zero) to the fingerprinting agency.  This will insure that the FDLE returns the report to the Orange County Clerk of the Circuit Court & Comptroller (Clerk) for use in your name change case.
  • Be prepared to pay fees:
    • $24.00 for the state portion
    • $16.50 for the national portion
    • There may be other fees from the vendor
  • ​A Transaction Control Number (TCN) will be issued upon getting your fingerprints done.  KEEP this number for your records; it will likely be needed to make an online payment for the background check.
    The results of the background check will be sent directly to the Orange County Clerk of Court.    ​​
