FAQ
Who Has the Right to Name a Child? Both parents have the right to name their children. If either you or the other parent want to change your child's name, you both have to agree to the change. If the other parent refuses to give consent, then you need to get approval from the court.
In NSW, you can only change a child's name once in a 12 month period and 3 times in their lifetime. Whilst exceptions exist these are subject to the Registrar's personal approval. Both parents named on the child's birth certificate must apply to change their child's name.
First, you file the Petition for Change of Name for your child. Then, you will get a court date between 6 and 12 weeks away. If the court approves your request, you will get a court order called a "decree" changing your child's name. The court process can take up to 3 months, though in busier courts it may take longer.
In NSW a child's surname may only be changed in circumstances where both parents of the child (as named on the child's birth certificate) consent to the change of name unless there is an Order of the Court, or where one parent is deceased.
Therefore, you will need to obtain the permission of those with parental responsibility to change your child's name.However, if the other parent does not consent to the name change, you would need to apply to the Court for permission to change your child's name.
An adult requesting a change to their name will need to submit a written petition to an Alaska superior court filing location and pay the $150 filing fee.
If you're the only parent shown on the birth certificate, or if the other parent is dead, you can change the name in the registry on your own. It's not illegal to start using another name for your child without officially registering the name change unless a court has ordered the child be known by a specific name.
Whether you are married or not, you don't have to give the baby the last name of either parent if you don't want to, and the child does not have to have the father's last name to be considered legitimate. (See the article Legitimacy of Children Born to Unmarried Parents for more on the subject.)
