ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE OF THE NAME. CASE LAW PERSPECTIVES
ADMINISTRATIVE CHANGE OF THE NAME. CASE LAW PERSPECTIVES

Summary/Abstract: It is a principle that an individual may not change his last name or first name arbitrarily, but only of his own free will. Precisely due to the fact that the name is an attribute whose purpose is to identify the individual in social relations, but also in family relationships, it is clear that the social interest requires that the name be as stable as possible. The legality of the name requires that the change in any way of the family name (as well as the first name) can be made only in the situations and conditions provided by law. The administrative replacement of the name takes place only on request, once again delimiting the change of the surname from the modification of the surname.
