Changing the name of an Individual

When changing the name associated with your mineral rights using the online portal, you will need to upload some documentation for the operator to review. Please provide the documentation below (depending upon the reason for the name change):

  • Marriage certificate

  • Divorce decree reinstating surname at birth

  • Other legal document of name change

Please note: This is for an individual changing the name associated with the mineral rights. If you are a business or trust, you will need to submit different documentation.

Changing the name of an Entity

When changing the entity name associated with your mineral rights using the online portal, you will need to upload some documentation for the operator to review. Please provide the documentation below:

  • Certificate of name change with Tax ID

  • W-9 (you can find a blank W-9 to fill out here)

Please note: This is for an entity changing the name associated with the mineral rights. If you are an individual, you will need to submit different documentation.
