If its on the birth certificate you cannot change the surname - end of. You can change the first name by deed poll . Why would someone give the wrong names anyway ??How can you change a baby%26039;s name?

You can change any name you like by deed poll. If its your child and the father is NOT on the birth certificate you can just go ahead. If his name is on the birth certificate then you may need to check if you need his agreement, but it all boils down to parental rights etc. You can do it all online to. And It costs about 拢40 i think. Google deed poll and i think it will come up, Good luck.How can you change a baby%26039;s name?
It happened to me believe it or not. My mother put something down on my birth certificate and the hospital nurses screwed up my name. So for years, on my birth certificate, I had the wrong name. It wasn't until I went to college that I finally had it changed. I just went down to our DHEC. Changing the surname, you'd have to go through all kinds of legal mumbo jumbo, but that could be done as well. I think they call it petitioning for a name change.How can you change a baby%26039;s name?
First, the baptism/christening has nothing to do with a legal name that the law recognizes. Second, it is pretty simple. If it is something like a spelling error, you can contact the records people at the hospital she delivered at and they should be able to fix it. If it is a totally wrong name ... not sure how that could happen, but.... both the biological father and the biological mother would have to sign off on the new name in front of a notary at the county register of deeds.



If the bio dad is not on the birth certificate, he will need to be tracked down, sign an affidavit declaring paternity, then sign off on the paper.



If the biodad is unknown, the a notice will need to be placed in the court house indicating intent to change names for a certain period of time. This procedure will vary from state to state, county by county. It would be best to contact an attorney inthat case so it is done right. HTH!
