§ 2a:52-4.

Upon the receipt of either of the following documents: a. A certified copy of a judgment permitting a change of name; or b. A certification issued in connection with a naturalization proceeding authorized

by Act of Congress that a change of name was permitted by decree or order of a court

vested with jurisdiction to naturalize persons as citizens of the United States;

together with a request for correction of an existing record of the birth or marriage

of the individual, the State Registrar of Vital Statistics or local registrar of vital

statistics shall adjust the record or records to show the new name and the date and

manner by which obtained. When the request and such copy or certification are received by a local registrar,

he shall forward them to the State Registrar after having adjusted his local record. In the event the name of any child or children shall be permitted to be changed in

the naturalization proceedings of the parent of such child or children, the certification

of the parent's naturalization record or proceedings disclosing such change of name

of such child or children shall be sufficient authority for the State Registrar of

Vital Statistics or the local registrar, as the case may be, upon request, to correct

the birth certificate or marriage certificate of such child or children in the same

manner as provided for the correction of the parent's birth certificate or marriage

certificate. The fee to be paid a local registrar or the State Registrar for each birth certificate

or for each marriage certificate so corrected shall be $2.00. Any certified copy of a record changed as provided for in this chapter shall show

the name at birth or marriage and the new name and date and manner by which obtained,

but upon request shall show only the new name.
