How Do I Change the Name on a Birth Certificate?


To change the name on a birth certificate, you must figure out which court handles name changes. Once you do, you will need to file a petition with that court to change your name. You will have a hearing before the judge where you will be given the opportunity to plead your case.


Before You File a Petition

Regardless of whether you simply want to change your name for one that you like better, or there was a mistake made on the original document, changing the name on a birth certificate is a process that must go through the court system. Before you can get a birth certificate with your new name, a judge must consent to altering the original documents and giving you a new name according to the law.

On Court Day

Show up on time and dressed appropriately for your court date. If the judge determines that you have a valid reason for wanting your name changed, you will receive an order to change your name. Request an additional certified copy which has the original signature of the judge, along with the official seal of the state.

How to Get a Birth Certificate with Your New Name

Contact your state’s Department of Vital Records to learn what is required to change the name on your birth certificate. You may have to submit a special form and pay the required fee. Providing them with a copy of the original birth certificate will help them identify who you are. Submit it, along with an original certified copy of your name change provided by the courts to the Department of Vital Records. If the information is sent by mail, confirm that they received your information after about a week. They should be able to tell you how long it will take to get a birth certificate with your new name on it. To learn more about getting a fast birth certificate, call 415-409-8220.
