Publish Your Court-Ordered Name Change NC-120 Notice in Sonoma County — Fast, Direct and Backed by 160 Years of Local Service
If you’ve filed a Petition for Change of Name (Form NC-100) with the Sonoma County Superior Court, your next step is to publish your Order to Show Cause (Form NC-120) in an approved local newspaper.
You can do that right here — directly with the publisher, not through a third-party reseller. That means better service, lower cost and your dollars go directly toward supporting independent local journalism that has served Sonoma County for more than a century and a half.
Why You Must Publish Your Name Change Notice
California law (Code of Civil Procedure §1277) requires petitioners to publish their Order to Show Cause once a week for four consecutive weeks in a Sonoma County adjudicated newspaper of general circulation.
We’ve been publishing official public notices and legal ads in Sonoma County newspapers since 1865, ensuring complete compliance and dependable service.
