go to your local courthouse and file a petition for the change, then you will see the judge to see if they will allow the order for changing your name, this way you will have all of the legal documentation to take with you to social security office and the drivers license bureau. Added: The answer given above will change your formal identification on all official documents -EXCEPT- for the name on your birth certificate.

Putting a father's name on the birth certificate does not make him legally the father if you are not married to him. You can put his name on the birth certificate, but realize that it has no legal impact. In order to have paternity established, it has to be done with a court order.
how do I add my daughter's father name to the birth certificate? I live in New York.
Perhaps you could if he relinquishes all rights or if your new husband adopts the child. However, even if you do somehow remove the name from the certificate, the fact is that he is still the biological father. Better to move on in life; fixing this will not make a large difference to the situation in the end.
No, you can and should put the baby's fathers name on the birth certificate.
You can't change your original birth certificate but you can change your name. See a lawyer or get married.

In some states if a person requests a change to their birth certificate such as a change of gender or change of name the actual birth certificate is updated as if it was always that way. In other states an affiliate of correction is issued. It usually consist of a copy of the original birth certificate with a certified statement showing the correction and stating that this is a valid birth certificate for the stated person.
You may NOT change the information contained on your birth certificate. It is an official record of your birth, the date it occurred, where it occurred, your sex, your birth name, and who your parent(s) of record were.

No, that is simply silly
The state does not take back your original Certificate. You will now have 2 documents one showing your name at birth and the new one reflecting the change. No one else will ever be able to access the original certificate. Only the new one documenting the change in your name will be available. But it does not make the first one disappear just because you have another one reflecting the change.
