Name on your civil birth certificate is different from the legal name

If your name on your civil birth certificate is different from the current legal name, then you must show legal proof of the name change. Legal proof = Certified marriage or civil union certificate, divorce decree or court order linking the new name with a previous name. U.S. passport is not proof of legal name change. A divorce decree may be used as authority to resume using a previous name only if it contains the new name and the previous
name and permits a return to use of the previous name.

All documents must be original or certified copies in English and have the required state and/or municipal seals. Certified copies of New Jersey records are available from the municipality that originally issued them
and from the State Bureau of Vital Statistics at www.nj.gov/health/vital or (609) 292-4087. For information  bout Jersey City/Hudson Ccounty birth certificates, visit www.nj.gov/health/vital/jerseycity. For information  bout birth certificates from Puerto Rico, visit www.nj.gov/health/vital.
