Explanation:

Achternaam wijzigen

Een achternaam wijzigen kan alleen onder strenge voorwaarden. Een verzoek tot het wijzigen van uw achternaam kunt u indienen bij Justis.

De strenge voorwaarden om een achternaam te wijzigen, zijn vastgelegd in het Besluit geslachtsnaamwijziging. De regels voor het wijzigen van een achternaam voor meerderjarigen en minderjarigen verschillen.

Nadat het aanvraagformulier bij Justis is ingediend, controleert Justis uw gegevens en neemt contact op met u en andere belanghebbenden. Justis beslist namens de minister van Veiligheid en Justitie of uw achternaam wordt gewijzigd. De beslissing over de naamswijziging volgt meestal 20 weken na de indiening van het verzoek tot naamswijziging. Bent u het niet eens met de beslissing? Dan kunt u bezwaar indienen bij Justis.

- 2. A person whose surname or forenames are unknown, may request the King to determine a surname and forename for him.
- 3. A change or determination of a surname by the King has no effect on the surname of the children of the person concerned who have reached the age of legal majority prior to the date of the King’s decision or who do not fall under the authority of the person whose name is changed or determined.

If the Minister of Justice has the intention to make a proposal for a Royal Decree with the purpose of honouring a request as meant in paragraph 1 or 2, he will notify this intention in writing to the applicant and the person for whom a change or determination of a surname has been requested and, if the request is related to the surname of a person who has not yet reached the age of legal majority, to the parents and the person from whom the minor's surname, of which a change is sought, is derived originally.
