Legal analysis
According to relevant laws and regulations, the change of name and citizen's name needs to be handled by relevant departments with relevant documents. Adults should meet the following conditions when changing their names: first, they express their willingness to change their names; Second, they should have sufficient reasons; Third, we should promise to bear all civil and legal responsibilities caused by renaming. People who are deprived of political rights according to law and those who are being punished by criminal punishment or reeducation through labor may not change their names. After a citizen changes his name according to law, the original name will be used as a "previous name" for future reference. In other words, you have to write a name change application to the local police station, stamp it and register with the household registration unit of the local public security bureau, and of course bring your household registration book. After submitting the document, it can be officially changed in about 15 or 17 working days. What was your name before, and what is your name now will be written in the household registration book. When you need a diploma or something to prove your identity, you must bring your household registration book. When formulating administrative rules, public security organs should not only consider the public administrative power, but also consider the consistency of the whole legal system. It is wrong to think that citizens' renaming may bring trouble and inconvenience to household registration management and information management of citizens' crimes, thus restricting citizens' exercise of their private rights of renaming. After a citizen's name is changed, the public security organ can truthfully record the citizen's previous name in all kinds of file information. Citizens can deposit, deposit, pay and collect various insurance premiums under their original names. After concluding the contract, you need to continue to exercise your rights and perform your obligations under the new name, just go to the public security organ and issue a certificate of renaming. Changing citizens' names should not have a negative impact on household registration management and public security management.
