What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? New York

I am located in NY, but not NYC. I am trying to change my name (legally) and found resources for the forms but I can't tell if it is only for NYC residents.

This is the resource for name change forms I found: Name Change Forms & Requirements

Name Change Order is filled out by Clerk; I just fill out the Petition, correct?

In the matter of the application of - is that where I write my current name?

The first sentence; "The Petition of __________________ respectfully shows this court:" (Is this where I write my current name?)

If so, in the PDF it says under #1. The petitioner resides at No. (STREET ADDRESS), in the ______ of ______________, county of COUNTY NAME, and has resided...

What goes in the two blank spots?


Thank you.
