If so, you may be eligible for subsidized legal aid. For this, a statement from a recognized psychologist or psychiatrist is required, confirming that the name change contributes to your well-being.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To be eligible for legal aid (subsidized legal assistance), you must also meet certain income and asset criteria. At <strong>Simmelink Advocaten<\/strong>, we can conduct a check to determine if you qualify for legal aid. If the legal aid is granted, you will receive a substantial discount on the total costs for the name change.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For more information about the conditions for subsidized legal aid, you can also visit the website of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rechtsbijstand.nl\/\">rechtsbijstand.nl<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Contact us for a non-binding feasibility check or to determine if you qualify for legal aid.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div><div class=\"gb-container gb-container-265f5b5a sim-section\">\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-f026269d sim-section__inner-container\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Specialized Lawyers at Simmelink Advocaten<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Our attorneys specialize in personal and family law and have extensive experience with first name changes.
