Legal analysis: students do not need to go to school to issue a certificate to change their names, but only need to express their wishes and apply to the competent authorities.

Legal basis: Article 10 12 of the Civil Code of People's Republic of China (PRC) states that natural persons have the right to name, and have the right to decide, use, change or allow others to use their own names according to law, but they shall not violate public order and good customs.
