    Default How Can I Change My Father's Name on My Birth Certificate

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: California

    Found out my father isn't my father. My mother has paperwork showing that the DNA test shows he isn't the guy. I wanted to know if I will be able or allow at the time or removing him off my Birth Cert if I can also get my Last name changed that isn't His last name. As of right now I hold his last name that I do not want at all.

    I have my DNA test in hand, how what do I do from here?

    Probably not, but you need to start by telling us your age and how paternity was established (e.g., presumption from marriage, court order, voluntary acknowledgment of paternity). If your biological father is interested, you can discuss with him the possibility of adult adoption.

    I do not know who my blood father really is. I am adult. Would like to have the man who claim to be my dad removed off because he wasn't a parent and I do not like how he is holding a copy of my ssn and birth cert after i have requested many times to have it return to me. All I want to know now is when I go to have him removed, can I change my last name to my mother's maiden name than using a man's name who isn't even my father.

    Again, probably not. As you have chosen not to share the information I requested, I suggest that you consult a lawyer with the information hou are choosing not to share with us.
