What are the procedures for a child to change his or her mother s surname?

Children may take their father's surname or their mother's surname. The law stipulates that adult children have the right to change their own names, and that the change of the names of minor children must be decided by both guardians through consultation. So, if you have to change your child's surname, it takes two steps to put it simply.

First of all, it is necessary to consult with the child's biological father and provide proof of written consent. If the child is over 8 years old, the child's opinion is still required, but if the child is over 18 years old, the child's consent is required; Secondly, you need to bring your household registration booklet, ID card, child's household registration book, divorce certificate and other materials to the local public security bureau police station where your household registration is located. The household registration agency must sign both parties before changing the child's surname or name.

Otherwise, one party has no right to change the child's surname and name, and the household registration agency will not handle the formalities. If one party does not agree, and the other party forcibly handles it, and the household registration office bears legal responsibility, the other party has the right to sue the party that changed the name and the household registration handling agency. Changing the child's surname after divorce is a big and small issue, which involves both traditional concepts and the rights and obligations of parents to their children.

Children may take either their father's or their mother's surname. Generally speaking, after the birth of a child, the name is determined by mutual agreement between the parents, so the change of the child's name should also be agreed upon by both parents. When the parents are divorced, neither parent has the right to change the child's name without authorization.

If the child changes his or her surname, he or she needs to negotiate with the child's biological father and provide proof of written consent. If the child is over 10 years old, the child's opinion is also required, and if the child is over 18 years old, the child's consent is required. You need to bring your household registration booklet, ID card, child's household registration book, divorce certificate and other materials to the local public security bureau police station where your household registration is located.

There is no formalities required for this, as long as the child's father agrees, then it is okay to change the surname together.
