As far as I am aware, birth >certificates cannot be changed My daughter opted to take her stepfather's surname when she was about 11. There has never been any documentation involved. A few years ago, when in her mid-30s, she was doing something to do with her driving licence and had to provide her birth certificate. Because it shows her birth surname she was told to submit a letter from me stating that ----- Benson was the same person as ----- W-----. We thought it highly amusing that once again she was needing a "note from her Mummy"! -- Jenny M Benson
