Redaction of Social Security Numbers from Name Change Judgments
The statute governing name changes requires that the name change judgment include the Social Security number of the person whose name is being changed ( N.J.S.A. 2A:52-2). The corresponding court rule (R. 4:72- 4) requires publication of the name change judgment in a newspaper of general circulation in the county of plaintiff’s residence. Pursuant to the rule, the plaintiff’s social security number must be redactedfrom the published judgment. The unredacted judgment must be filed with the Deputy Clerk of Superior Court in the county of venue and the appropriate office within the Department of Treasury.
