Instructions
Step 1
A woman who becomes a single mother registers the child in her last name. To change the surname of a minor child, you need to submit an application to the registry office at the place of registration of the fact of birth or at the place of residence. The application must be submitted by the mother of the child and the person wishing to establish paternity and rewrite the child in his last name.
Step 2
The application indicates the surname that must be assigned to the child after the change and the reasons that prompted it to do so.
Step 3
Additionally, the mother submits a notarial permission to perform this action.
Step 4
If the child's mother is against changing the surname, and the father wants to establish paternity and write down his surname in the child's documents, then he needs to apply to the court and undergo a DNA examination to establish paternity. Only after a court decision can a child's surname be changed.
Step 5
After a divorce from her husband, the child's mother can rewrite it to her last name only after a court decision, if the child's father is not deprived of parental rights and regularly fulfills his parental duties, for example, pays alimony. Because it is possible to change the surname of a minor child only with the mutual consent of both parents.
