I want to change my name. I would like to know what procedures are required. By the way, I would like to ask my friends to help me choose a name.

Name change (the procedures are unified across the country and the review is stricter) Citizens who apply for name change must present the following supporting materials 1. The applicant’s written application (for those under 16 years old, the application shall be submitted by their guardian); 2. If the parents divorce and change the surname of a person under the age of 16, the divorce certificate must be provided and an agreement must be written and signed by both parents. 3.

If you are a staff member of an agency, group, school, enterprise or institution, you must submit a certificate of change approved by the personnel department of the unit or school. If you are a student, you must submit a certificate of change approved by the school where you are located. Those who do not have an employer must issue a certificate from the neighborhood (village) committee where the household registration is located, and then the police in the responsible area where the household registration is located will sign on the certificate. The director in charge of the police station will print a change and correction form after agreeing (if a person under 16 years old changes his or her name, there is no need to print it. The change and correction form shall be processed directly at the household registration office of the police station after approval by the director in charge) and reported to the household office hall of the branch for review and approval. To correct the date of birth, citizens who want to correct the date of birth must present the following supporting documents: 1. The applicant's written application (for those under 16 years old, the guardian shall submit the application) 2. Household registration book, resident ID card; 3. "Birth Certificate" or date of birth The cause of the error and the original voucher; 4. If you are an employee of an agency, group, school, enterprise, institution, etc., submit a certificate of change approved by the personnel department of your unit (if it is an oversight or error by the household registration staff, no certificate from the unit is required). 5. Print the change and correction application form and submit it to the director in charge for approval and then submit it to the branch director for approval. There are three conditions for adult name change: first, the person must express his/her wish to change the name; second, the reason must be sufficient; and third, the person must commit to changing the name. All civil and legal liabilities arising therefrom shall be borne by oneself, and it can only be changed once in a lifetime. After the age of 16, you must submit a written application and submit valid certification materials to the public security authority for review and approval. Those who have been deprived of political rights in accordance with the law and are subject to criminal punishment and reeducation through labor may not change their names. After a citizen changes his or her name in accordance with the law, the original name will be used as the "former name" for future reference. That is to say, you need to write a name change application to the police station where your household registration is located, and after it is stamped, register with the household registration section of the local public security bureau. Of course, you must bring your household registration book. It will take about 15 or 7 working days after submitting the file to officially change it. Your previous name and current name will be written in the household registration book. When you need to use your diploma or something to prove your identity, you must bring your household registration book with you. The specific procedures are: Those who want to change their name should go to the household registration window of the public security bureau where their household registration is located, receive an application form, and provide the required information. After approval, the name can be changed. In addition, I would like to remind the poster that you must be cautious when changing your name, because changing your name will involve a series of issues such as your bank card, social security, medical insurance, property rights certificate, etc. If not handled well, it will also cause a lot of trouble. In addition, the relevant legal provisions are added: According to Articles 17 and 18 of the "Regulations on Household Registration of the People's Republic of China", the person who needs to change his name must apply to the police station where the household registration is located, and write down the reasons for the need to change his name. , go to the household registration office of the local police station to apply. When the household registration authority deems it necessary, it can ask the applicant for proof of relevant changes or corrections. When a person under the age of 18 needs to change his or her name, the person or his/her parents or adopter shall apply to the household registration authority for change registration; if the person is over 18 years old, the person shall apply to the household registration authority for change registration. Article 99 of the General Principles of the Civil Law also stipulates that citizens enjoy the right of name and have the right to decide, use and change their names in accordance with regulations, and others are prohibited from interfering, misappropriating or counterfeiting. Article 18 of the "Household Registration Regulations" stipulates that when a citizen changes his or her name, the following provisions apply: When a citizen over 18 years of age needs to change his or her name, he or she must apply to the household registration authority for change registration. Citizens whose right to name has been infringed have the right to demand an end to the infringement, restore their reputation, eliminate the impact, and apologize. Therefore, if an application to amend a name is rejected, or if the name is restricted in words, it is a legal violation of the citizen's right to name. Citizens can protect their legal right to name through civil litigation or administrative litigation. "Strict control" on name changes for citizens over the age of 16 is only an internal regulation of the public security agency, with no specific operational standards. It is also suspected of conflicting with the relevant provisions of the "General Principles of the Civil Law" and should not be legally binding.

If a citizen blindly refuses to change his name and the citizen files a lawsuit due to the administrative inaction of the public security organ, if the public security organ cannot provide evidence that the citizen's name change violates the legal provisions, the public security organ may bear the consequences of losing the case. According to the provisions of the "General Principles of the Civil Law" In spirit, no conditions should be attached to a citizen’s application for name change. When the public security organs formulate administrative regulations, they should not only consider the administrative power of the police, but also consider the consistency of the entire legal system. It is wrong to think that changing a citizen's name may cause trouble and inconvenience to household registration management and the management of citizens' criminal information, thereby restricting citizens from exercising their private right to change their name. After a citizen's name is changed, the public security agency can truthfully record the citizen's former name in various file information. The citizen can deposit, trade in stocks, pay and receive various insurance premiums under the original name. After concluding a contract, the citizen needs to use the new name. To continue to exercise rights and fulfill obligations under your name, you only need to go to the public security organ to issue a certificate of name change. Changing a citizen's name should not have a negative impact on household registration management and public security management. The name can be Yang Chenyu

Please accept it, thank you!
