Changing My Full Name in Cyprus
<p>I’m planning to change my full name as soon as I can.
So can someone walk me through the whole procedure?</p>

<p>I’m located in Cyprus.</p>

<p>If you are a citizen of Cyprus, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/how-can-you-legally-change-your-name-cyprus-a-g-paphitis-co-llc-/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">you fill out the name change affidavit</a> on a form available form your District Administrative Office before a notary, submit it with 80 Euros, and hope that the Registrar at the District Administrative Office approves your application. </p>

<p>Your affidavit will state, among other things, your proposed name, which must be acceptable by Cyprus standards, and your reason for the change, which probably shouldn't be "to assist me in avoiding an outstanding warrant for my arrest for murder and high treason against the government of Cyprus" or "to steal the identity of my next door neighbor."</p>

<p>If it is approved, you are done and can now go about the arduous process of changing your name with everyone you need to do business with from bank accounts to property registries to ID cards and passports to leases to car titles to professional licenses. </p>

<p>If it isn't, you figure out why and either change your application accordingly or see if you can find an attorney to help you contest the denial in the appropriate tribunal.</p>

<p>If you are not a citizen of Cyprus, you probably need to go to the country in the E.U. where you are a citizen, if there is one.</p>
