How do I change my child's last name?
If the biological father's name is not on the birth certificate and he is marrying the mother, and the child has not started school, you can complete the information on the back of the birth certificate and send it to the:

Office of Vital Statistics, Division of Vital Records
101 South Mercer Street
P.O. Box 1528
New Castle, PA 16101

In all other circumstances, you must petition the Court.
