Application for change of surname, name, patronymic

A person can change his first, last or patronymic name from the age of 14.
However, before reaching the age of majority, such a procedure requires the consent of both parents, guardians or adoptive parents. The exception is situations when a minor is recognized as having legal capacity (for example, got married, works or conducts business activities). If a person wants to change his name, he should contact the registry office at the place of his registration with an application to change his last name, first name or patronymic.

For your information! This procedure is regulated by the Federal Law of November 15, 1997 No. 147 “On Acts of Civil Status,” namely its articles 58 to 63.

Good reasons for changing your name, surname or patronymic

A citizen wants to bear a premarital surname if the marriage was dissolved or if the spouse died.
The applicant wants to have a common surname with the children if the spouse died and the surname was premarital.
Last name, first name or patronymic sound dissonant or difficult to pronounce.
A citizen wants to bear the surname or patronymic of the person who took part in the upbringing if the father or mother did not fulfill their duties. Or, on the contrary, he wants to take the surname of his biological parents if he was adopted and bore the surname of the adoptive parent.

This is an incomplete list of reasons on which you can change your name. But in general, everything else comes down to the above.

How to write an application

The document must be submitted in writing to the civil registry office.

Important! There is a unified form - No. 15, the form can be obtained from the registry office.

At the very top, the empty lines must be filled in by a specialist from the institution. There he writes down the date of acceptance of the application, assigns it a number and signs it.

Then comes the header and body. The name of the Civil Registry Office department, full name of the applicant, and contact phone number are indicated in the header at the top right. Next, in the middle, the name of the document is written - an application for a name change.

The main part begins with the formulation of a request to change your name. Then the citizen indicates:

what he wants to change (if this is a surname, then you need to enter the desired surname, and in other lines - with the name and patronymic - you need to put a dash);
FULL NAME;
date of birth;
Place of Birth;
birth certificate data;
citizenship;
nationality (to be filled in at the request of the applicant);
marital status (you must immediately write down the details of the marriage certificate);
information about children who are under 18 years of age (you must write the name, date of birth and details of the birth certificate);
grounds for changing the last name, first name or patronymic;
place of residence;
details of identity documents (usually a passport).

This is followed by a list of appendices to this document. This is a birth certificate, marriage certificates, birth certificates of children, adoption or paternity certificates, passport and/or copies thereof.

The applicant then indicates the date and signs.

Sample of filling out an application for a name change for 2021

People believe that the name influences fate, health, life expectancy, etc. A person does not choose his own name. Strongly negative associations, gender change, does not fit with the surname, and other reasons are grounds for changing personal data. The Constitution of the Russian Federation grants such a right to every citizen. To implement your plan, you must appear at the registry office with an application.

What might you need it for?

The desire to change the surname when concluding a family union.
The desire to return one's last name after the breakup of a family union.

The desire to take the last name, first name, patronymic of a loved one.

Change of personal data as a result of a change of religion.

Additional Information

The procedure for changing a surname involves paying a national tax for the procedure. After changing personal information, you will have to change the full list of documents: driver’s license, passport, insurance policy, work book, military ID, etc. If both parents have changed their surname, the children are randomly given a change of initials. Upon reaching adulthood, in this case, an adult child is required.

After filing an application, the legislation allows one calendar month for its consideration and decision. If experts do not see compelling reasons for changing initials, applicants receive a written refusal with a detailed explanation.

If the decision is in favor of the applicant, he receives a certificate of name change. On its basis, other documents are replaced.

Change of passport

To change your passport, you should contact the Main Department of Migration Affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. You can submit documents to replace your passport when changing your name in person at the department and through the MFC, or through the State Services electronic portal.

The basis for obtaining a new passport is a certificate of change of name issued by the civil registry office.
