    Default Changing a Utah Birth Certificate in Washington

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

    I was unsure where to post this, as it concerns changing a birth certificate, but of a legal adult, not a child. My situation is a little complex so bear with me. Basically, I was born in Utah, and as such have my birth certificate from there. However, I have lived in Washington for the past 12 years. Now, it has come to my attnetion that my birth certificate is completely and utterly wrong; it has one name on it (My first), no last name, and several other minor mistakes.

    The problem is, I don't have any real forms of identification, outside of old school IDs. What's the best way of going about fixing this whole mess I'm in? I was under the assumption that I should start with changing my birth certificate to the name I've been using for the whole of my life, and from there I can obtain my SS number, and so on, but I have no idea how to do that, or where to start. Another added problem is I don't get on with my parents very well, so their support is out of the question. I'm also 20, if that helps.

    You'll need to file an affidavit to correct your birth certificate. It appears that you would sign, and that you would also need a parent to sign. If your parents won't assist, there may be a way around that. Here's information on acceptable ID's. Make a call to the number(s) on this page to ask about getting the affidavit form and to explain your other problems.
