Name Change
questions & answers
Question: I would like to add my last name to my daughters birth certificate. They currently have fathers last name. I have sole custody of them and their father & I were never married. He's always been inconsistent with his visitation rights (in and out of their lives, Reason for change). Do I need a court order & his permission to add my last name to their birth certificate?
Answer: There is an article at www.azlawhelp.org regarding name change and birth certificates. You can read the article at http://azlawhelp.org/articles_info.cfm?mc=1&sc=8&articleid=60. There is also information regarding the forms at the Arizona Dept. of Health Services regarding changing the name. Go to: http://www.azdhs.gov/licensing/vital-records/index.php#corrections-amendments-childs-name. Both should be able to assist you. You may want to speak with an attorney regarding notification of the biological father.
