Surname and name
What name will my child bear ? Does it depend on my nationality or the other parent’s nationality ? Can I choose my child’s name ? Can I choose to have a double surname ? Are the rules different according to place of birth ? Do rules differ when the child has been adopted by gay parents ?
What are the conditions for me to change my name or my child’s name ? I obtained a change of name and/or surname abroad. Can I have this decision recognized in Belgium ?
How can I correct an incorrect spelling on the Civil State Register ?
