Court ordering a legal change of name decreed in Ohio.

If you were born after December 20, 1908 then you are apart of a group of people the court is allowed to grant a legal change of name to. Once you get the court to certify your legal change of name decree the Ohio Vital Statistics office requires a copy. The court order must have been granted by a probate court. If you never had a birth certificate or were born before December 20, 1908 then the Vital Statistics office requires a delayed birth registration established by a probate court along with the certified copy of the legal change of name decree. The probate court is the only court that can do delayed birth registrations in Ohio.
