My question involves name change laws in the State of: Montana
Hi everyone,
I have a question relating to legalizing an existing name change. When I was a child, my parents changed our family's last name through usage but neglected to fill out any forms to make the change legal. As a result, my birth certificate has one name, while my social security card, tax forms, employment record, driver's license, etc., all have the changed name on them. I now need to apply for a passport and they want me to show my birth certificate. However, I have no documentation of the name change. What is the best course of action? Is there a simple way to legally declare the name change?
