Do I have to change my parents' surname only?
The right to name refers to the right of citizens to decide, use and change their own names according to law, as well as the right to exclude others' infringement.
2. A citizen's capacity for civil rights begins at birth. From birth, you should have a special symbol to represent yourself.
China's "Regulations on Household Registration" stipulates that the household registration should be declared within one month after the baby is born, which is generally completed by the minor's parents and the minor's name is determined through consultation.
However, although the child's name is decided by the guardian when he is a minor, this does not prevent the child from changing his name alone when he is an adult. Because he has acquired civil capacity, he has the right to decide his own name, and no one else can interfere. This is also a sign that children enjoy independent personality.
3. China's "Regulations on Name Registration" rigidly stipulates that citizens take their father's surname or their mother's surname, but both parents' surnames are allowed. That is, when children adopt the surnames of both parents, they can be named according to their double surnames, but they are not considered as compound surnames.
/kloc-citizens under the age of 0/8 who really need to change their names may submit a written application by their parents or dependents and make changes after investigation and consent by the household registration authority.
/kloc-Adults over 0/8 years old are not allowed to change their names in principle. You can change your name under any of the following circumstances:
1) The adoption or dissolution of the adoption relationship needs to change the name;
2) Under the age of 18, parents have reached an agreement to apply for name change;
3) There are obscure and illegible words in the name, or the homonym of the name is obviously inappropriate, degrading and easy to cause adverse effects;
4) My name is inconsistent with the file name registered for the first time;
5) Homonyms are wrongly registered by the public security organs.
In line with the above situation, the name can be changed only after the approval of the municipal public security organ. At the same time, you need to go to the city notary office to declare notarization, and bear all relevant legal responsibilities caused by the name change.
In any of the following circumstances, the name shall not be changed:
1. People deprived of political rights according to law;
2. Persons who have received criminal punishment and reeducation through labor;
3. People who have not yet gone through civil or criminal proceedings;
4. Persons subject to criminal punishment and reeducation through labor and criminal suspects.
***************************
To sum up, the statement that the household registration officer of the police station must take the surname of one parent does not conform to the relevant laws and regulations of our country.
In view of your situation, I suggest you:
1) change your "surname" to the surname of both parents-in this way, your surname should basically be very unique.
2) "Name" remains the same-at least when you were born and your parents named you, they also devoted their love to you, even if you forgot it.
You can print out the three laws and regulations I listed and argue with them.
If the above conditions are met and the household registration officer still refuses to change, then he has violated your right to name. You can file an administrative complaint with their superiors, or bring legal proceedings through lawyers and courts.
Resolutely support you to safeguard your legitimate basic human rights! I hope you succeed!
