Hi! I would like to request a information regarding the process of correcting my true last name to all my school records.
Is it possible that I can correct my last name to all my school records. If I can what's the necessary steps and requirements?
As a child, my parents used my father's last name, even though my PSA record showed my mother's last name because they weren't married. In 2023, they tried to Legitimate me, but it was rejected by PSA due to my father's previous marriage. I found out recently when using my PSA for work, and now I'm college I want to stick to the name on my PSA.
