questions & answers
Question: My Birth Certificate reads Kitrina and I have been writing as Katrina since high school. Everything I own is in Katrina, Driver's Lic, Soc Sec card, Bank Account, Home ownership. With the new Driver's Lic requirements my Birth Cert. would not make it possible any longer to have it Katrina they will only issue with Kitrina. Do I have to do a legal name change?
