Please note that filing fees vary per county and some require a portion of payment in cash for the required newspaper notification. Tulsa county is currently $190.14 for name change, gender marker changer, or a combination of name and gender change.
We’re also continually creating a list of Pauper Affidavits for individual counties that, when filed with the name/gender change, will allow for impoverished individuals to forego legal filing fees and pay nothing to file. Also, the Oklahoma Equality Center now provides a scholarship program for name and gender marker changes.
