Changing your name can be a significant step in personal and professional life, especially for nursing professionals in Arkansas. The Arkansas Name Change Request form serves as a vital tool for individuals seeking to update their name on file with the Arkansas State Board of Nursing (ASBN). This straightforward form requires essential information such as the previous name, the new name, and the reason for the change, whether due to marriage, divorce, or another legal action. Importantly, while there is no fee for the name change request itself, a $30 fee applies if you are also requesting a new license reflecting the name change. It’s crucial to note that although a replacement license will not be issued, the updated name will be recorded with ASBN, ensuring that your nursing documentation aligns with your current identity. Additionally, the form mandates the submission of supporting legal documents, such as a marriage license or divorce decree, to validate the name change. As part of the process, applicants must declare their primary state of residence, which holds significance under the Nurse Licensure Compact. Completing the form accurately and submitting it alongside the required documentation will help ensure a smooth transition in updating your professional records.
