Some states allow you to update your birth certificate after a legal name change.

This also has a fee attached.

It’s definitely not universal, and much less likely in red states.

Yeah, even just checking, and it looks like Massachusetts doesn’t allow name changes for this purpose, and really only does it to correct mistakes at the time a record was made: "For example, you cannot change your birth record solely for a legal change of name. "

Did they even think any of this through? LOL
