As I said, because the names are so similar, I suspect things were allowed as a typo.

I think it would be easier for you to change your birth certificate then everything else.

Yea but it wasn't a typo how can u change the birth certificate my moms name was still baker at the time I have no father listed on the birth certificate she was still technically married to my biological father

[ScottGem]

In most states if a child is born during a marriage, the husband is considered the legal father unless challenged. Therefore, her husband at the time is the legal father. Ergo your legal last name would be that of your mother's husband at the time of your birth.

If all your other ID is in the name of your step father, then go to court and have your legal name changed. It should be a simple matter.

So basically go to court to change my last name to what I have been using my whole life.
What if I want my last name to say what it says on the birth certificate

[JudyKayTee]

Go to Court and petition for whatever name you want to use from here on - the real name, the other name, some name you have randomly selected.

A Court Order will end the confusion forever.

When you go to court you can name yourself whatever you want. So just pick the one you want and make it legal if it is different from the borth certificate. If that is the one you want to keep then you have to fix the rest of them.

Then you will need to change all your other ID instead. That's why I suggested it would be easier to change the birth certificate since everything else is in the name you have known.
