The surname on my birth certificate is taken from my biological father. My parents divorced when I was about two years old and for some reason, known only to her, my mother decided a couple of years later to give the surname of my "stepfather". I wish she hadn't done it as the name means nothing to me and I have often thought about reverting back to the surname on my BC.
All my current documentation, passport, bank accounts, NI no. etc. all carry my "adopted" name. What implication, if any, does this situation have with regard to my legal/lawful standing, bearing in mind everything I have signed for is in a name different to on my BC.
And if I did change my name back, what implications would that have??
