How can I change the spelling of my sons name?

I don't know why, but when I filled out his BC I spelled it Riyen...could have been because I was on a lot of drugs, but since the second I saw it I didn't like it. How can I go about changing it to just Ryan?

I did the same thing. It was Lylah at first and I want to change it to Lilah. Here in Texas you have to contact the Bureau of Vital Statistics. I think you have to send in like about $40 (I don't remember the exact amount, maybe like 37 something) and they can do it. I think it depends on what state you are in as to what the procedure is. I would google Bureau of Vital Statistic + what state you live in. There you should be able to find the correct information. Good luck and congrats on Ryan/Riyen! =)





Edit: Here in Texas, you have to go to court if you want to change the name completely...not just for a spelling change. Apparently each state varies according to the answer above me....

Reply:You have to take it to court, even if it's just to change the spelling... believe me... I asked cuz they mispelled my son's... the people at the Health District told me when I was picking up my sons bc duplicate
