Changing a child's surname

There are situations when parents want to change a child's surname: after a divorce, when creating a new family, or so that the child has the same surname as the mother or father. In Poland, this is possible, but the procedure has its own rules. 

You will need:

  • a properly prepared application, 
  • a correct package of documents,
  • a convincing explanation of the reasons. 

If both parents agree, the matter is resolved quickly. If one of them is against it, the decision is made by the court, taking into account the interests of the child.

Changing the name and patronymic of a child

Parents can change not only the surname, but also the name or patronymic of the child. The reasons are different: the desire to give a different name, correct a mistake, or change the data after establishing paternity or adoption. The consent of both parents is also important here. If there is a dispute, the case goes to court. In Poland, it is imperative to take into account how the change will affect the child - whether he will be comfortable with the new data. 

Experts from Legal Marketplace Consultant say that administrative authorities in Poland consider such cases quite meticulously. Therefore, a correctly drawn up application and a package of documents are the key to a positive result. Any inaccuracy or formal error may cause a refusal.

Legal assistance in changing a child's last name

To avoid refusals and unnecessary nerves, it is worth contacting a lawyer. A professional will help:

img

correctly prepare the application and collect documents;

img

explain the chances of success and what to do in difficult cases;

img

protect the interests of parents and children in court;

img

support the process until the new data is entered into the documents.

Thanks to the support of a specialist, the procedure is faster and you avoid typical mistakes.

Conclusion

Changing a child's last name, first name, and patronymic in Poland is an important step that affects the life of the entire family. Proper preparation and legal support make the process simple and clear. The Legal Marketplace Consultant will help you complete all the documents without unnecessary worries. We will take care of the legal side of the matter, and you can focus on the most important thing - the well-being of your child.
