How do you change last name to biological fathers name after 37 years?

I am now 37 years old, but recently found my biological father. I want to change my maiden name to his name. I discovered this through a dna test.How do you change last name to biological fathers name after 37 years?Changing your last/maiden name to your dads last name does not establish a legal connection between the two of you.



If your dad is agreeable, why not formalize it by adoption.

Yes, the courts do allow adult adoptions.

Go to the nearest court house and ask for a pamphlet or hand-out, concerning a petition for adoption, court cost/fees and whether or not you need the services of a lawyer or paralegal, in your State.

It is a court petition, same as changing your name to any other alternate name. You actually can change your name to ANYTHING, as long as it is not intending fraud.

I don't think it is possible to amend your birth certificate, however. That is going back to ALTER a record.. as compared to the same kind of change one makes, when they get married and update a record to the current name.
