because my mother never informed me that my birth certificate was under another name?

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.

It is sad to hear how they treat you. There is ways of finding out if you where adopted like getting hold of your birth certificate. You can ask a social worker to assist you with this. You are probably not adopted. Your parents have issues like struggling to cope and you should not take this treatment as if your the one at fault. How old are you?\n\nGet trough this by seeking help, professional help and when your 18 start a life for yourself. \n\nNOBODY NEEDS TO BE TREATED THIS WAY!!!!!!!!

The simple answer: yes.\n\nIf someone has the right sources at their fingertips, they could do anything. Someone could use your name to find your mailing address, and use your name and mailing address to pull up your credit report, which would have your social security number. With a little bit of research they could find out your mother's maiden name...you see where this is going.

Was your son born in a hospital? Contact the hospital in which he was born and ask where they keep the birth certificates. I'm guessing their must be some sort of government center where records like that are kept.

You can get a negative declaration of birth certificate and back it up with whatever supportive document you have (baptismal certificate, hospital record, early school record)

Don't you know what your real name is? I certainly don't sorry that I can't be of more help. Ask your mother or father or someone else close to you.

I am 41 (as of 1-18-2006) and I have not told my parents that I legally changed my name last year. I haven't told them I am Bi either. I have known I am bi for the past 26 years, but I haven't told them about ANY of my girlfriends! They already have a fit because I am 7 (almost 8) years older than my husband.

of course it would affect your case..it can give you a good chance not to be convicted, right? unles it's a typographical error ;), kidding aside...such concern is critical and having a wrong last name on paperwork is a big matter to consider!

Contact the state you live in. They might have a registery for renuon or a medical exchange program. Also ask for your records. They can lead you to the rooght places. If you know the hosiptal you were born at contact that. They too might have a registry .. Definately register and ask for your records. You might get lucky and someone forgets to black out a name or too. Then you can search for that name.\nGo to online sites and post. Search angels look up people all the time and could get a hit for it too. \n\nIn renuion now for 3 months. Myselkf so good luck

if your birth surname is now your legal name, i would imagine you would simply apply for a new passport. In fact, i think the government would prefer that you do this.

Sometimes when famous people write their memoirs, they have to leave names out for legal reasons. I'm sure if this is the case that all parties involved are sworn to secrecy, so it may never be known.

I suppose you know the city you were born in; so google the city town hall, phone there and ask for info there.\nUsually the the birth certificates are issued by a bureau of the city hall (people evidence).\nOr if you know your numeric personal number: it consits of 13 numbers; the first one is the sex (1 for male 2 for female), month of birtd, day, year and 6 more numbers that can help indicate when and where you were born (you could ask that at any police station in romania) and from that the parents name(s).\nBut this is a bit more complicated so i would suggest the first one, talking to the city hall;)

open up yahoo.com and put your real name (no nicknames) on the window next to "search the web". other sites---google.com, ask.com, grokker.com. If you want to find out even more specifically about yourself and eliminate like-sounding names, put apostrophe around your name like: "john doe". If nothing comes up, that means none of your public records have been posted on the web

It's highly unlikely.  People have changed or otherwise altered their names years ago when positive ID was far from anyone's mind.\n\nAlso, there are so many variations on the spelling of a particular name.  I know that mine, which is not particularly a popular one, has probably a dozen different spellings, of which all are basically the same.  It's just as likely that some of those similar spellings are distant relatives as those with exact spellings.

If you have a valid driver's license you might be able to go to your local social security administration and explain your problem and ask them if they are able to tell you the city you were born in, as that info is likely on your NUMIDENT (the record of your number). They might not be allowed to give that to you, but if you have proper ID and know your mother's maiden name, etc. they just might be able to help you!\n\nOnce you get the city, you could look up the county.
