Name Change Criminal History Assessment {LACIV 226}

LACIV 226 - NAME CHANGE CRIMINAL HISTORY ASSESSMENT. This form is used in Los Angeles Superior Court for a criminal history assessment in connection with a name change petition. When a person files a petition to change their name, the court will typically require a criminal history assessment to be conducted to ensure that the petitioner does not have a criminal record that would raise concerns about the name change. The form requires the petitioner to provide their personal information, including their current name, proposed new name, and identifying information such as date of birth and Social Security number. The criminal history assessment is typically conducted by a law enforcement agency, which will provide information about the petitioner's criminal history, if any. The assessment may also include a review of court records and other relevant information. Based on the information provided in the criminal history assessment, the court will make a determination as to whether the name change is appropriate. If the petitioner has a criminal record, the court may deny the name change or require additional information or documentation before making a final decision. For Mandatory Use, Code Civ. Proc., § 1279.5. www.FormsWorkflow.com
