What documents do I need to change my name?

Changing the name requires the following steps:

1. I go to the local police station with the original and photocopy of the household registration book and ID card before the change, the application form that needs to be changed and the name change letter issued by the unit (street office or school). People with adoption relationships need to bring adoption certificates;

2. After investigation, examination and confirmation by the police station, it shall be reported to the local branch for re-examination. The name before the change will be reflected in the "previous name" column of the household registration page.

There are strict reporting restrictions and reasons for changing the name of the ID card:

1, the household registration book is inconsistent with the ID card name;

2. The name of the ID card is wrong due to reasons other than my own;

3. The homophonic name of the ID card violates public order and good customs, or is likely to cause gender confusion, be misunderstood by others or hurt my feelings;

4. The name of the ID card contains uncommon words, or other special circumstances that the public security organ deems it necessary to change its name.

To sum up, renaming needs to be handled at the household registration window of the public security bureau where the household registration is located. To change the name, you need to bring the household registration book and the original and photocopy of the ID card before the change, as well as the application for change and the name change letter issued by the unit street office or school. If the adoption relationship changes, you need to bring the adoption certificate.
