The best time for children to change their names.

Generally, children will go to school at the age of six, and parents can apply for a name change.

To change the name, you need to bring the original and photocopy of the household registration book and the ID card before the change, as well as the change application form and name change letter issued by the unit (street office or school). If the adoption relationship changes, you need to bring the adoption certificate.

Go to the household registration window of the public security bureau where the household registration is located, receive the application form, provide the required information, and write down the reasons for changing the name completely. When the household registration authority deems it necessary, it may require the applicant to issue a certificate of change or correction. It can be renamed after approval.

According to Article 18 of the Regulations on Household Registration in People's Republic of China (PRC), if a citizen changes his/her name, and a person under the age of 18 needs to change his/her name, his/her parents or adopters shall apply to the household registration authority for registration of change; If a person who has reached the age of 18 needs to change his name, he shall apply to the household registration authority for registration of change.
