What to do about a different last namea nd obtaining a passport?
Question Details: However my birth certificate has my mom's maiden name and biological dad; which is not the dad who took care of me and gave me his last name. Is it necessary for him to adopt me now or legally change me name to his?
If you simply wish to change your surname I suggest that you consult with a family law attorney about the process and the filing of the needed petition to do so. Once the surname is changed per a court order you then obtain the passport you want.
