Name Conformity
An action for name conformity can be utilized to address any of the following circumstances:
- My name does not match on one or more of my official identity documents (Birth Certificate, Social Security Card, Driver’s License, Passport, Marriage Certificate, or Divorce Decree).
- An inconsistency in my name is prohibiting me from getting a driver’s license.
- I was not born in Ohio, and I have an error or misspelling on my birth certificate.
- My child was not born in Ohio and has an error or misspelling on their birth certificate.
- I was born in Ohio, but the name on my birth certificate does not match the name I have used all of my life.
- I was in a common law marriage with no marriage certificate to document my name change.
- The name I currently use is a name on one or more of my official identity documents.
*Please note, this procedure will not result in a change to the applicant's birth record.
The filing fee for an application for name conformity is $83.60.
