Re: Birth Certificate
If you are living in Hennepin County, you can acquire a form for a change of
name ant the Hennepin County Court Administrator's Office. It will be a
simple process so long as both parents agree on the name change.
The Hennepin County Court Administrator's Office is on the 2nd floor
directly across from the Department of Vital Statistics in the Government
Center 300 South Sixth Street. Hennepin County also offers assistance in
filling out the forms.
Ramsey county also has forms and a pro se clinic for help.

Re: Birth Certificate
A name change proceeding in District Court would be your best bet. They are easy to do and most people do it without an attorney. In most Minnesota counties, the clerk of court can provide forms and some instructions.
