Re: Family Law
Take the order to change name to the State and tell them that you want to correct your birth certificate. Use the order to change your name as evidence of your right to do this.
The correct department will depend on where you were born. The state maintains records, and some counties do as well. You could start looking at access.wa.gov if you were born in Washington to determine who you need to talk to.
Hope this helps. Elizabeth Powell
