How Easy Is It To Change Your Name?

With the news earlier this year that the King of Swaziland changed the name of the country to eSwatini back in April, without any consultation or warning, how easy is it to change a name?

King Mswati III renamed his country on the 50th anniversary of it gaining independence. This has led to protests within the country about the costs involved and the fact that this step was taken unilaterally without any consultation.

Fortunately when it comes to changing your own name or the name of your children, the process is just as easy, and far less controversial.

There can be many reasons why you want to officially change your name, such as following a divorce or family breakdown. It may be important for you to change your child's name to protect their identity or in some cases, if you have been harassed or stalked, you may wish to change your name to ensure that you can no longer be found online or by other methods.
