New York State
My first issue is that my first name was misspelled on my original birth certificate. It is only a matter of one letter, but has been creating confusion for the better part of my life. (I am 20 years old.) I recently became engaged and have begun planning for my wedding etc. I would like my first name to be correct when I change my last name to that of my future husband...
The question is...Can I change both on the marriage license? Or do I have to have the First name fixed prior to this? If I can avoid the cost and trouble of doing it beforehand, that would be great. If I can't, it would be good to know in time to have the first one fixed so that I can have my married name correct.
Does anyone know how to handle this situation?
