What Are The Legal Rules To Observe Before Change Of Name, Age? by deedan9(op): 12:59pm On Apr 11, 2017
Greetings Nairalanders,

Is there any legal rules to observe before changing your details such as name, age , date of birth, local government of origin and the likes?

Some of my official documents have the old name i used to bear and some wrong details I used before.

I am planning to go for a change of name after my NYSC but will it make my documents remain valid?

Is there any legal implications to this?

Thanks.

Just that? Will that make all documents remain valid?
