According to the civil code, any citizen can change his last name in the manner prescribed by law. Also, a citizen has the right to demand to make appropriate changes to those documents that he received earlier in his old name.
In order to change the name, you must come to the registry office at the address of your residence. When changing the surname, the state duty is paid to the state, which is the minimum wage.
Then you will have to fill out an application in which you will need to indicate the reason for the change of your last name. Together with your application, the following documents are submitted to the registry office:
- birth certificate of a citizen who wants to change his last name, - marriage certificate in the event that a person is married, - certificate of termination of marriage in the event that a citizen wants to return his former name before marriage in connection with its dissolution, - birth certificate of the child (ren), if he has not reached the age of majority.
According to the Civil Code, children over 14 years old, but not older than 18 years of age (full age), have the right to change their last name only with the consent of both parents.
If the parents do not live together, and the child living with one of the parents wants to change his surname, the guardianship authority decides this issue depending on the desire of the child, but takes into account the opinion of the other parent.
The voice of the second parent will not be counted only if it is not possible to establish his place of residence, he is deprived of all rights to the child, he was recognized legally incompetent, and also if the parent evades his obligations or voluntarily refused without giving reasons to support and educate your child.
