(a) A person with a felony conviction under Minnesota law or the law of another state or federal jurisdiction shall serve a notice of application for a name change on the prosecuting authority that obtained the conviction against the person when seeking a name change through one of the following procedures:
(1) an application for a name change under section 259.10; 
(2) a request for a name change as part of an application for a marriage license under section 517.08; or 
(3) a request for a name change in conjunction with a marriage dissolution under section 
518.27.  If the conviction is from another state or federal jurisdiction, notice of application must also be served on the attorney general.
(b) A person who seeks a name change under section 259.10 or 518.27 shall file proof of 
service with the court as part of the name change request. A person who seeks a name change under section 517.08 shall file proof of service with the county as part of the application for a marriage license. 
(c) The name change request may not be granted during the 30-day period provided for in 
subdivision 2 or, if an objection is filed under subdivision 2, until satisfaction of the requirements in subdivision 3 or 4. Nothing in this section shall delay the granting of a marriage license under section 517.08, which may be granted without the name change.
