Dear Wendy, thank you for this information. Does it matter if the client is a woman who took her husband’s surname at marriage and is now divorcing and wants to revert to her maiden name? I assume the birth certificate was not modified at the time of the
marriage. Yours truly, Doug Owens<br class="">

You can search online for the same info in other states. I used to have a list but I can’t find it. <o:p class=""></o:p></span></div>

This is an interesting question. My first thought is that wouldn’t a person want the paper trail of their original birth certificate combined with the order that shows their birth name and their changed name? I would just advise them to keep a copy of the
order with their birth certificate and view them as a set. If you change a name for someone in WA, do you have them change their birth certificate also? I have done a handful of name changes, but never advised them to change their birth certificate - though
I confess it never crossed my mind, because I thought of a birth certificate as a document that represents the reality at the time of birth. To apply for a passport, for example, I would expect the original birth certificate plus the court order would be
sufficient. I am curious if others think differently.<o:p class=""></o:p></div>
