    Default How to Add a First Name to an Adult's Birth Certificate

    My question involves name change laws in the State of: New York

    I am currently trying to obtain dual citizenship with Italy through my paternal great grandfather. Unfortunately, I need to send in the birth and marraige records of all generations between him and myself, and my grandfather's birth certificate from 1920 says only "baby boy" in place of his first name. It seems unlikely that the Italian consulate will accept this. Is there any way to correct this at this point? My grandfather is 96 years old now and essentially housebound in Maine so anything that involves him appearing in court in New York is pretty much out. Thanks!

    What did the Consulate say when you asked them?

    Do you mean about submitting the paperwork with the name as is? It was essentially a "maybe, maybe not" but since it can apparently take several months to review I would prefer to get the certificate fixed first rather than get denied and then have to fix it and resubmit. One attorney I spoke to said it would definitely have to be changed, but given he then offered to take care of it for me for about $8000 I'm taking that with a grain of salt.
