A question about changing ones name.

[berkeley]

Alright, if someone wants to have a legal name change, must it be done in the state in which they were born?

Qualified no.

Generally it is county of residence.

Purpose of name change?

Because like any good attorney, the answer usually is "it depends"

Generally speaking it can be filed in county of residence.

Generally a year before applying.

As always there can be exceptions.

I changed the spelling of my first name some years ago and had to have a close family member fill out a form and have it notarized to attest that I was who I said I was.

That sounds kinda backwoods-ish to me.
