This is what you need to do:\n1.  Gather up all of your current identification papers/ i.d./ social security card/ h.s. diploma/ etc. (all of the important things that will need changing)\n\n2.  Get a signed, notarized statement from your mother that says that she did not give correct information regarding your legal name, and that your name should be as it appears on your birth certificate.\n\n3.  Go to the social secruity administration office and get a social security card with the correct version of your name and current social security number.  Take whatever documentation they give you with you so that you can prove that the govt. has officially changed your name.\n\n4.  Take your birth certificate, the notarized letter, and your print out from the social security office to the DMV and have whatever current i.d. changed to the correct name.  They will take whatever kind of i.d./drivers' licence card from you as it is illegal to possess identification in 2 different names for the same person.\n\nYou will have to repeat the process for each piece of identification that you need changed (i.e. passports, H.S. Diploma, bank account info, College Degrees, vehicle registration, etc.)\nThe cost will be minimal... $20.00 notary fee, whatever DMV fees, any replacement fees.  (you can have your diploma and bank stuff changed for free.. I'm not sure about passports though)  I hope this helps.

why dont you just go to a photo shop and have your birth certificate shrunk to a wallet size? I mean, ofcourse your original birth certificate remains intact...the photo place will give you a duplicate except it will in a wallet size...(you might lose some clarity in the wallet size but you will be able to carry it in your wallet.....

You probably have to go to the court house. You birth certificate has your mothers last name. So thats the name you need to give them. They will prob be able to find it that way. Not with the last name you have now. I'd go to the court house and ask them what you need. I would take in your drivers liscense for ID and your soc security card. They will prob ask for them. Good luck!

From Pirmasens and Heidelberg I make the assumption that your father was military. So first of all do you have a birth certificate? What is your mother's nationality? When you are born overseas you have to file for a certification of birth with the State Department. This is easily gotten and would have most of the information that you need to get started. If he was military there are ways to find out the basics as well which are too numerous to list here. If you have an idea of where he is from there are things you can do as well. What I'm saying is that you need to give more details. I went through this and it turned out worth it.

You can change your last name but you have to do so in a legal manner.  It will cost you.  Contact a lawyer.

I think you have to go through the Courts to get a proof (paperwork) that your name is different from your birth certificate and you wanting to get a driver's license through Dmv with your new name.  You'll have to check Nevada's Court online website.  You might find it in the same category as Marriage.  That's where I found all kind of info regarding changing names and etc .. here in Cali..

Go see an attorney immediately. It sounds as if you are a victim of identity theft. Your state medical board by all means DOES have a record of it, as they are required by law. Go see your attorney immediately.

If you have an idea who the father is, you should be able to get Division of Family Services to help in obtaining DNA or help point you in the direction of legal counsel.Saying he is the father is not proof, give them reasonable doubt, names and dates.Its just not right for someone else to support and get visitation for a child that is not his.Besides,it is only fair the child knows who the biological father is for medical family history purposes.If all else fails look in the yellow pages for family counseling that accepts your medical insurance.Not to make lite but, there is always the talk shows...they love this stuff!

I wouldn't even change my name to go into the witness protection program.  My family name traces its roots to the Vikings who settled Southwest Germany.  My middle name is third generation, and I hope to have a son someday to carry them both on.

Go forward with the name change. I would. You are still honoring your father by taking on the name he was entitled to and should have had. He doesn't need a name change. Since he has already passed on it is too late since he would have needed to change it. However his tombstone can be changed to reflect the name he should have had.

I wouldn't worry about it. A few good questions though. Why were you put as president of the company? Why would you be being sued? Answer those two questions, and you'll have pretty good direction pointing to the answers. Ask him. Think about it logically for a moment. Your father brought you into the world, and nothing you experience could've been experienced without him, so first off let's be grateful for that gift of life. Secondly, a lawyer firm is a business. Businesses run for one reason, to Get Profit. Clearly they're not going to care about your personal interest as much as they are going to want their profit in the end, it's a bit more cold than dealing with family directly. As strangers, these people have no consent to the actual relationship you and your father have. From the perspective you give, it makes him seem like a scumbag, when I truly doubt that is the case. I'd talk to your dad and if I didn't get the proper answers then I would consult a lawyer and the judge of whatever, to help them realize you didn't actually do anything wrong. You didn't do anything. He forged the signature and did everything. What could you possibly have to worry about? You'll have to tell them the honest truth about everything, and that may put your father into trouble. I'd stick it out with my family, you'd be nothing without them, not to mention not even exist. It really depends on where your heart is. Only for yourself. Or For your family.
