§ 3705.13.
When a legal change of name of a person whose birth occurred in this state has been
granted by a court, the office of vital statistics shall receive and file a certified
copy of the court order legally changing the name. The court order shall be cross-referenced with the original birth record and the
office of vital statistics shall issue a certification of birth containing the new
name. Such certification shall disclose information that a legal change of name has been
granted by a court. Provided, if the original birth record was filed prior to the establishment of the
division of vital statistics, a certified copy of the court order legally changing
the name shall be received and filed with the probate court of the county wherein
the birth occurred, instead of with the office of vital statistics. The court order shall be cross-referenced with the original birth record and upon
request the probate court shall issue a birth record containing the new name. Such record shall disclose information that a legal change of name has been granted
by the court.
