Instructions
Step 1
You can give the child's father's surname when registering the fact of birth. To do this, you will need to contact the registry office with an application, a passport. You will receive a birth certificate, which will record the child's surname by the father's surname.
Step 2
If you wrote down the child in your last name and decided to change it to the father's last name, contact the registry office at the place of registration of the fact of birth or at the place of residence. Write a statement, indicate the reason for changing your surname, present your passport and child's birth certificate. After 2 months, you will receive a new birth certificate with a changed last name.
Step 3
If you recorded the child in your last name due to the fact that the father did not live with you, and then he showed up and wants to give him his last name, then you will need an application, a passport, a child's birth certificate.
Step 4
If you do not want to change the child's surname, and the father insists, then this can only be done in court. A man must apply to the arbitration court with a statement, present strong evidence of his absence at the time of the birth and registration of the child. The court may request the results of a genetic examination confirming the fact that a man is a blood father to a child.
Step 5
On the basis of a court order, a man can apply to the registry office and change his child's last name without your permission. But the court makes such a decision in exceptional cases, if it considers that the reason for the absence at the birth of the child and registration was extremely valid.
Step 6
A man can not only achieve a change in the child's surname to his own, but also must participate in the upbringing and maintenance of his child. If he does not, then you can file a counterclaim to recover child support or to change the child's last name to your own. That is, on the one that was recorded when registering the fact of the birth of a child.
