Many citizens wish to acquire the name of an idol or change it according to astrological forecasts. So is it possible?

Foundations

It is this document that changes within 30 days after the change.

Name change procedure

The procedure for changing the surname is the order of actions that are necessary to perform.

The procedure has a certain character, prescribed in the rules of the registry office:

1. Initially, the client comes to the state body for consultation.
2. There he receives a complete list of documents required for submission, as well as details for which payment must be made.
3. Then the citizen goes to collect documents.
4. Then he turns to Sberbank and pays the state fee through the terminal. It must be remembered that this type of payment will require an additional commission.
5. Together with the receipt, the person is sent to the territorial registry office and writes a statement of the established form. At the stands in the presented company, a sample is attached.
6. Together with the application, all necessary documents are transferred, a receipt for payment is attached.

Within 30 days, the registry office notifies the client of the readiness of the documents and the decision.

If this is a positive decision, then the citizen is issued a certificate-confirmation of the change of surname. If denied, all submitted documents will be returned. The reason for the refusal is argued.

To any other

It is possible to change the surname to any other. But it must be the name of a relative or the person who raised him. To do this, you need to act in a similar way.

The state fee will be 1600 rubles.

Also, a person must provide all documents confirming the relationship and the possibility of acquiring this surname.

The application shall indicate the old data, the reason for the change and the new surname.

The procedure for changing a surname to any other is not always accompanied by positive emotions. The representative of the registry office can dissuade from the decision or put pressure. But if a person has firmly decided, then this will not push him away from action.

After marriage

After marriage, a marriage registration certificate is issued, where the woman is already registered with a new surname. This document is fundamental when changing a passport and other documents. This means that you do not need to pay an additional state fee to process the change.

It will be enough to pay a wedding payment in the amount of 300 rubles.

An application for a change of surname is written before choosing the date of marriage. A woman has the right to make her own choice - whether she needs it or not.

After the marriage, the woman is issued a certificate and a passport, where a note is made about the replacement of the document within a 30-day period.

child with father's consent

It often happens that people get divorced and they have a child. Most of the time, he stays with his mother. And it happens that she gets married again.

In this case, the mother can determine for herself whether it is necessary or not. If you want to become one family, the child is adopted by a new father. Even if for some reason he is denied this, he can give his last name to the child.

To do this, you must obtain the consent of the child himself, if his age has reached 10 years. The consent of the biological father is also required.

If the parents parted on good terms, then problems should not arise. But if the action, then nothing can be done.

To register a new surname, you must submit to the registry office:

• birth certificate;
• passports;
• Marriage certificate;
• written consent of the biological father, certified by a notary.

A note about the change is made in the registry office database, the birth certificate is changed and a confirmation certificate is issued.

In passport

The passport is the document that must be changed first. Regardless of the reason for changing the surname, within a 30-day period, a person must apply to the passport office with an application for entering new data.

He pays the state fee in the amount of 300 rubles and gives the receipt, passport and application. For the period of production, he is issued a temporary identity card.

It must be remembered that the last document is issued only at a personal request and a free format application.

If you do not contact the passport office, then the document will be considered invalid after the 30-day period. You will have to pay a fine.

The citizen writes a statement of the established form and attaches additional documents:

• old passport and two color photographs 35*45;
• birth/marriage certificate for stamping;
• the document on which the change was made.

Such a procedure as changing a surname has a special procedure for execution. In our article, we will talk about how to change a surname: the procedure, what grounds and documents are needed, what personal documents should be changed, and also cover other important points in this process. The surname is an integral part in the life of every person, it is given to him from birth and accompanies him throughout his life, if there is no need or desire to change it. The reason for changing the surname can be either a good reason, for example, the adoption or adoption of a child, marriage, etc., or the personal desire of a citizen.

The right to change a surname is established by Article 58 of Federal Law No. 143-FZ “On Civil Status Acts”, and this right is also regulated by Articles 32 of the Family Code of the Russian Federation and 19 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation.

The procedure for changing the surname

The legislation provides for the possibility for every citizen of the Russian Federation to change their surname. Citizens who have reached the age of majority can act independently, the process is carried out by their parents, adoptive parents or trustees, which we will discuss in more detail in our next article.

Important! The change of surname provides for the applicant an obligation in the form of payment of the state fee, which, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 333.26 of the Tax Code of the Russian Federation, amounts to 1,600 rubles.

The process of changing the surname begins with the submission of an application of the established form to the registry office, which, in turn, are required to accept documents, enter new data in the registration journal and provide the applicant with a certificate of change of surname.

Important! The registry office is not entitled to refuse citizens to accept documents if the reason for changing the surname is present in the list of justified reasons for the implementation of this process, otherwise the application for a surname change is considered on an individual basis.

Based on statistics, we can determine the following main reasons for changing the surname that citizens of the Russian Federation use:

1. the desire of one of the spouses to have a common surname or return their premarital one;
2. the desire to bear the surname of the stepfather or stepmother, if official adoption is not possible;
3. the desire to take the surname of one of the parents, if the second did not take part in the upbringing of the child;
4. the desire of parents to bear a common surname with their children, if for some reason their surnames differ;
5. the desire to bear the surname of a relative or other person who carried out the upbringing of a person without formalizing the adoption;
6. the desire to bear a surname corresponding to the chosen nationality;
7. the desire to change the surname, if the former belonged to the category of difficult to pronounce;
8. the desire to change the surname, if the former belonged to the category of dissonant;
9. desire to change the surname for religious reasons.

After receiving a certificate of change of surname, the applicant must independently apply to the registry office, where they will exchange the old birth certificate for a new one and notify all necessary organizations about the change of surname.

• TIN certificate- the taxpayer identification number itself does not change when changing the surname, however, the document must be reissued for a new surname, for this you should contact the tax office at the place of residence with the appropriate application, which is accompanied by a copy of the passport with a new surname and a document confirming the change of surname.
• Medical policy- the document is subject to mandatory replacement when changing the surname.

However, it should be borne in mind that if there are different surnames in the foreign passport and the passport of the Russian Federation of one owner, it is impossible to obtain visas to other countries.
• Certificates of ownership- the replacement of documents confirming the owner's right to use or dispose is not a mandatory factor when changing the surname; when making a transaction, one should only present a document confirming the fact of the surname change. However, lawyers still recommend that you worry about replacing documents in advance of the transaction, for example, buying and selling an apartment or car, in order to avoid unnecessary complications and red tape. In addition, different surnames, for example, in the driver's license and vehicle passport can also cause a lot of problems for the owner.
