How Do I Change My Name in New York?
In 1887 I lived in California and was devorced, On my legal records I used the name that I gave myself but not born with that name. Now after more than 22 years I have moved back to New York. Even though all my government records..like Social Security,tax forms, Medical records all have the name I used all these years...New York will not give me a drivers license because my birth certificate has my birth name not the name I have used as described above. How can I get my name changed on my birth certificate? Or how can I get the DMV in New York (Suffork County) to give me a license with the name I use for more than 22 years? I hope you can understand what I am trying to ask here. I have many forms with the name I call myself all these years but that did not seem enough for the DMV. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for any assistance you may give me.
How can I change the father listed on a birth certificate and the child's name?
I put the wrong father on the birth certificates of both of my daughters. they are now 13 and 15 and would like to legally have their biological fathers name, whom I've been married to for 6 years. We did conduct an independent DNA test for both children. My ex husband who is not the biological father but is on the birth certificate has not been involved for the past 12 years and will not object. I am unsure of his whereabouts but he was served with a copy of the DNA test results 12 years ago and is aware of the fact that he is not the father. Where do i start to not only change the girls' names but also the birth certificates?
