Re: surnames

Um...we need more information here. Is this a misspelling (Smith vs. Smyth) that happened with some government agency? Do you actually use both surnames? How long have you had two surnames? Why did you get two surnames to begin with?

Give an attorney who is in your local geographic region a call to set up an appointment to discuss your situation. Depending on circumstances, it may well be very possible to change your name to only one surname.
