The possibility of changing the name

Of course you can, but at your age only with the consent of your parents.

Article 149 of the Criminal Code:

1. A child who has reached the age of sixteen has the right to change his surname and (or) his first name, and (or) his patronymic at his own discretion.

2. A child who has reached the age of fourteen has the right to change his patronymic with the consent of his parents.

If guardianship is established over a child who has reached the age of fourteen, changing the surname and (or) first name and (or) patronymic of such a child is carried out with the consent of the guardian.

1. A child who has reached the age of fourteen has the right to change his or her patronymic with the consent of one of the parents, if the other parent is deceased, recognized as missing, declared dead, recognized as having limited legal capacity, incapacitated, deprived of parental rights in relation to this child, or if information about the father (mother) of the child is excluded from the legal record of his birth, or if the information about the husband as the father of the child is included in the legal record of his birth at the request of the mother.

2. If one of the parents objects to the change of the child's patronymic, the dispute regarding such a change may be resolved by the guardianship authority or the court. When resolving a dispute, the parents' performance of their duties in relation to the child and other circumstances certifying the conformity of the change in the father's name to the child's interests are taken into account.

Article 295 of the CCU:

1. A natural person who has reached the age of sixteen has the right to change his surname and/or first name at his own discretion.

2. A natural person who has reached the age of fourteen has the right to change his surname and (or) his own name with the consent of his parents or one of them in the event that the second parent is deceased, recognized as missing, declared dead, recognized as having limited legal capacity, disabled, deprived of parental rights in relation to this child, as well as if information about the father (mother) of the child is excluded from the legal record of his birth or if information about the husband as the father of the child is included in the legal record of his birth at the request of the mother"
