The Petition seeking name correction must be served on the District Attorney for the jurisdiction in which the Petition is filed. To save on the cost of service of process, you may want to consider hand delivering the Petition along with a waiver of service. This can also provide you an opportunity to gather contact information for the person or department that will be responsible for answering your pleading. Some District Attorneys do not prioritize answering name correction Petitions and a certain amount of follow-up may be needed to ensure the process moves forward promptly. If a Rule is not filed with the Petition, it may be necessary to file one subsequently to push the District Attorney and the case forward toward final judgment.
