I have a problem regarding the changing of my last name (Adams) to my new married name(Moore). Upon taking the appropriate documentation to the locate branch I was informed that the name on their records was not the name that I have been going by for the last 20 years.
The name on file was my birth name (Barbour) and according to the records after my adoption and legal name change to Adams someone came in to an office a state away from where I live and changed it back to Barbour. Evidence leads me to suspect my birth mother changed it.
Now my issue resolves around the fact that despite proof of my last name (Adams) on my birth certificate the cannot resolve the issue since it was "legally" changed and now I'm unable to to fulfill my change from Adams to Moore because of this.
To make matters worse it's hard to obtain some of my documentation because I was adopted and in NC those records are sealed even though I'm fully aware of all the parties involved.
What is the best way to resolve this in a timely manner because I've been married almost 3 months and need to have my info corrected?
Any help would be a HUGE help!
