The 18-year-old, who filed to drop the "Pitt" from her surname on her birthday in May, will have to wait to finalize the change due to a court postponement.
According to Shiloh's attorney, Peter Levine, the court was unable to complete the necessary background check before the scheduled hearing, leading to the rescheduling of the hearing to August 19.

"Unfortunately, the court was unable to complete the background check ahead of today's hearing, so the hearing was rescheduled for August 19," Levine explained.
He further clarified that all individuals undergoing a name-change request must have a background check conducted by the court clerk. A clerical error, however, caused the delay in Shiloh's case.
In July, Shiloh moved forward with the next legal requirement in California's name-change process by publishing an announcement in the Los Angeles Times.
The announcement, a necessary step under California law, must be published in a newspaper for one month before a judge can approve the petition, and it appeared in the legal notice section of the paper, signaling Shiloh's intent to be known simply as "Shiloh Jolie."
This significant decision came amid what her lawyer described as “painful events” in her life.
Shiloh's decision to change her name seems to reflect a growing trend among her siblings. Her 16-year-old sister Vivienne was recently listed as Vivienne Jolie in the Playbill for the musical The Outsiders, suggesting she too has chosen to drop her father's surname.
Furthermore, their sister Zahara, 19, officially dropped the "Pitt" from her name during her induction into the Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority at Spelman College in Atlanta last November.
Maddox, 22, also reportedly does not use the Pitt surname on non-legal documents, opting instead to use Jolie.
