No matter why you've decided to change your name -- because of marriage, divorce, career or lifestyle change -- you need to follow certain legal steps, and this book shows you how. How to Change Your Name in California provides you with all the forms and instructions you need to: • choose a new name and make it legal. • amend a birth certificate, or get a new one. • change children's names. • get a new driver's license, passport and Social Security card. • change back to a former name after divorce.
