Pwede po ba isulat ang pangalan ng ama ng bata sa birth certificate kahit na apelyido ng ina ang susundin, ano po ang possible na epekto nun?

Gusto ko po na isunod sa akin pangalan ang magiging anak ko but i also want to reflect the father's name sa birth certificate. ano po mga requirements and implication of that kind of entry sa birth certificate in terms of legality sa bata?

Kung iparegister pa lang ang birth certificate ng bata wala naman problema yan kasi iba din naman ang surname na gamit ng bata at ang ama. Kaya lang if registered na ang certificate of livebirth ng bata tapos gusto mong baguhin ito ay nakadepende na yan sa gusto mong ipabago. Kung first name lang ng bata ang ipabago mo sa petitisyon kailangan mo ng magsulat ng reason for change of first name. Para po malinawan at sa mga requirements po for change of name kailangan po muna ninyong pumunta sa opisina ng Civil Registrar kung saan nakarehistro ang birth certificate ng anak ninyo. They will give you requirements to comply marami yan at syempre may bayad tungkol dito. It will take almost 6 months before it will reflect sa PSA livebirth if ok ang petition.
