Changing your name is a simple legal procedure that any one can do themselves. It’s even easier than filling out all the forms you have to go through every time you visit the doctor. If you can fill those forms in yourself, then you can prepare your own name change forms.

The first step is to file a ‘Petition for Name Change’. You fill in the legal form, and take it down to your county’s clerk office, usually located inside your local county’s courthouse to file the form. There may be a small filing fee, but by preparing the form yourself you’ve already saved hundreds of dollars in legal fees. To find out how much the filing fee is you must contact your county’s clerk office you will be filing your Illinois name change forms at.

Here are a few county clerk office’s I’ve taken the liberty of locating for you, but there are many more. At least one in each county. So look for the clerk office in your county.

Du Page County Clerk – (630) 407-6000‎
421 North County Farm Road, Wheaton, IL‎

Cook County Clerks Office‎ – (708) 974-6150‎
10220 South 76th Avenue, Bridgeview, IL‎

Will County Clerk – (815) 740-4615
302 North Chicago Street, Joliet, IL 60432-4078

Lake County Clerk – (847) 377-2400‎
18 North County Street, Waukegan, IL‎

Once you’ve filed the petition for a name change you will be given a date to appear before a judge. You will need to appear before the judge just one time, for a brief moment. The judge may ask you a few questions just to make sure your eligible to change your name, but mainly you just appear to hear whether your name change has been granted or not.

As long as you haven’t been convicted of a felony in Illinois in the past 10 years, you’ve lived in Illinois for at least 6 months, and your not changing your name for fraudulent reasons such as to avoid warrant, imitate a celebrity, etc. then you should be eligible for a name change.

After you’ve appeared in court, and the judge has granted your name change you will receive a certification of your name change called a ‘Order for Change of Name’. You will then use that to change your name on your social security card, driver’s license, birth certificate, bank account, etc.

Once you have your ‘Order for Change of Name’ you then take that with you to your nearest Social Security office, along with your old identification to get a new copy of your Social Security card with your new name.

To update your Birth Certificate, you will need to get a certified copy of your ‘Order for Change of Name’, at your local county’s clerk office because you will need to mail that to the Illinois Department of Public Health. You mail that along with an official copy of your old birth certificate to their office, along with a $15 money order to cover the fee. Their address, and phone number (as of 7/27/2010) is:

Illinois Department of Public Health – (217) 782-6554
605 West Jefferson, Springfield, IL 62702-5097

Once you have your new Social Security card, and Birth Certificate, it’s time to update your driver’s license. You should now have all the documentation you need, but you can call them to verify what you need just to avoid bringing unnecessary documents. At this point though you will have no trouble changing your name on your bank account, utility bills, and any other accounts you have.

Though states are making cuts to education across the board, the John C. Dunham Trust is doing its part to help keep the Aurora area well-funded. Though the majority of the grants awarded to philanthropic organizations by the Dunham Trust are given to safe houses and halfway homes, the group recently began awarding scholarships to nursing students as well.

The John C. Dunham Trust was founded in 1996 and founded in 2007 according to Dunham’s wishes. The Dunham Trust is designed to increase the quality of life in Illinois and particularly in Aurora. In order to achieve this goal, the Dunham trustees have focused on assisting organizations and charities that improve health and health care, helping Dunham’s desire to “make the world a more comfortable, safer place for mankind to live and prosper” come to fruition.

This nursing scholarship, known as the Dunham Nursing Scholarship, is awarded to nursing students in the Aurora area, and is aimed towards offsetting the cost of education for nurses of all levels of education, from undergraduate to post graduate. The Dunham trust has already helped dozens of students pursue higher education, with $210,000 in scholarships awarded to college students from Aurora.

The Dunham Trust group has joined with health care professionals in Illinois, the Kane County Health Department, the Rush Copley Foundation, Aurora University and Dreyer Medical Clinic among other groups in order to fund the $750,000 program. The Dunham Trust hopes that by helping to pay for education, nurses from the Aurora Area will be given the resources to pursue higher education and will be able to support a high-performing nursing staff in its health care facility.

The scholarship program, which awards almost a million dollars in scholarships, is distributed to at least 40 students every year between July 2009 and June 2011, assisting approximately 120 students enrolled in nursing programs during its years in service. This scholarship program, in unison with President Obama’s health care reforms and stimulus bills, will make it easier than ever for aspiring nurses to fund their education.

Those awarded scholarships will have aid determined by their location. Students at Waubonsee will see 90% tuition coverage, and students at Aurora will be covered for 75% of their tuition costs after acceptance. Applicants must have lived in the Aurora Area before they will be considered, and can apply beginning on October 1. The scholarship will be awarded to applicants based on members of a review board composed of representatives of the groups funding the scholarship.

After receiving the scholarship funds, applicants will be obligated to work with their funding organizations on a number of community service projects based in their field of experience. At graduation, the now-accredited nurses are contracted to work in Aurora for at least two years.

Scholarships from the John C. Dunham Trust are awarded most often to students from DuPage, Kane and Kendall counties in Illinois. This area, between Illinois State Routes 38, 59 and 47 and US Route 34, is known as the ‘Aurora Area.’ Applicants from other areas may be considered, but Aurora applicants are given preferential consideration.
