Article 18 of the Regulations on Household Registration in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates that if a citizen changes his name, it shall be handled in accordance with the following provisions:

1. When a person under the age of 18 needs to change his name, his parents or adopters shall apply to the household registration authority for registration of change;

Two, people who have reached the age of eighteen need to change their names, and I shall apply to the household registration authority for registration of change. "

The materials required for renaming are:

(1) I apply in writing;

(2) Resident ID card and residence booklet;

(3) Original certification materials that can prove the reasons for the change;

(4) The employee of the unit needs the certificate that the personnel department of the unit approves the change;

(5) Other certificates.

Need to remind you that once the name change is successful, all the original records, including graduation certificate, social security card, provident fund account and even marriage certificate, need to be corrected one by one, otherwise, when the relevant documents need to be reviewed, the different names will bring endless trouble.

Based on the above considerations, if you insist on changing your name, do it before the above problems are formed, so as to change it into the best one now.

Now that you are a college student, your changed name will appear on your college diploma. It should be said that there are not many certificates or certificates that need to be renamed because of renaming (the materials such as primary and secondary school diplomas remain unchanged, which will not affect the validity of your final academic certificate), or they can be basically ignored. You don't have the social security card, provident fund account or even marriage certificate mentioned above. So now is the best time for you to change your name.
