Question:Go to the DMV.


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Go to the DMV.

You can go to the Health Department in the city where you were born to have it corrected on your birth certificate. Then you may have to request that it is corrected on your social security card also.

how do you know it is incorrect? is it not the name you were born with? if it is on your birth certificate, than it is yours. go to the local court and have it legally changed.
