Hi Lea! If the mistake is just a clerical or typographical, all you need to do is visit the Local Civil Registrar that issued your birth certificate and inquire from them the steps you need to undertake to correct the information. In case the LCR rules that the mistake in your birth certificate is not clerical, then you would need a lawyer to assist you in court to file a petition for change of name.
