Since you submitted your name change petition today through eFile, the system usually sends a confirmation email once your document is officially received and accepted by the Philadelphia Court of Common Pleas. You can log into the eFile portal at fjdefile.phila.gov to check your filing status and see if your petition has been marked as filed.

If you don’t see confirmation online or by email, contacting the Civil Filing Center at City Hall can help verify your petition’s status. Typically, after filing, the court schedules a hearing within 90 days to proceed with your name change process.
