You can change your name but your date of birth was determined when you made your grand entrance into the world!. If you are in the U!.S!., each state has its own laws about things that!. Call your courthouse and they can probably direct you to the right person!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

That is called "forgery", dear, and it is illegal!. You can change your name; in my county it costs $320 and you have to be an adult, or your parent has to do it for you!. Your birth date can be corrected, if, for instance, the doctor remembers you popped out at 11:59 p!.m!. on the 2nd instead of 12:01 a!.m!. on the 3rd, but it can't be changed to make you older or younger!.

Isabell "You can only do it if someone is out to kill you" is wrong!. Young children left fatherless through death, divorce, or desertion have their names changed all the time!. It happens when (if) their mothers marry men who adopt them!. The man will sometimes give the children his name as well as his time, effort and money!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It is not an option to change when/where you were born!. You can change your name, when you are 18, to anything you want as long as it isn't committing fraud!.
