Any amendment of a surname, first and middle name when affidavit already has been filed or any information on a deceased person’s vital record requires an order from a court of competent jurisdiction.  When such an order has been obtained, please send a certified copy of it to this office.  The following are the requirements regarding a court order name change.

1.  The court order must order the South Dakota Department of Health or Vital Statistics to prepare the birth record to reflect the change.

2.  There must be enough information in the court order to identify the birth record as it is now such as Name on the birth record, date of birth, mother’s maiden name

3.  The court order must list the incorrect data as it is listed on the record.  Name, Gender

4.  The court order must have the correct data, as it should appear.  Name, Gender

5.  The court order must be certified.

If you are a member of a tribe:  (If applicable)

If the court order does not state parent or child is a member of a tribe, the following is the requirement:

The Attorney General’s Office has advised that tribal court orders for name changes are acceptable if the tribal court has jurisdiction.  Tribal membership will determine jurisdiction in these cases.

* A notarized document that proves membership of parent or child to a tribe.

You may want to seek legal counsel:  the following is the State Bar of South Dakota attorney referral number 1-800-952-2333.  The fee to prepare the birth record is $8.00 for the amendment.  In addition, if you wish to obtain a certified copy of the birth certificate you must complete the SD application form with the statutory fee of $10.00.  If you have previously purchased a certified copy of the birth certificate we will exchange for no additional charge, but you must complete the application form for all orders.
