Massachusetts H2283 would allow for the amendment of birth certificates to reflect a name change.
Massachusetts H2283 proposes to amend the state's birth certificate regulations by allowing the commissioner or registrar of vital statistics to update a birth certificate to reflect a name change. This change would occur upon request from the individual, their parents, guardian, or legal representative, and upon receipt of a certified court order changing the name. The amendment aims to ensure that birth certificates accurately reflect the individual's current legal name.
