If you have parental authority over a child – alone or jointly with another parent – and your spouse/partner is not the parent of the child, you can give the child you have taken into your common household your married or civil partnership name by declaration to the registry office. You may also prefix or add the married name or civil partnership name to the name the child is using at that time.
