Does the other parent have parental responsibility? if so, you do need permission.

Hi mummybear - as xylophone has already suggested, we'd recommend that you read through the information on our Adviceguide website about changing a child's name. If you need further help and advice on what to do, then we'd suggest contacting your local bureau.
