I have had a legal name change. How do I fix my birth certificate?

If you have had a name change that would change your name on your birth certificate, then you will need to provide our office with a certified copy of the name change order and a cover letter stating what you want done.

Note: You only want to change your name on your birth certificate if your name change is intended to change your birth name.
