How can we legally correct the incorrectly registered surnames of my wife and I?
The issue is that when we issued a document from the National Register of Citizens in 1994 in the Luhansk region, we were troubled by the marriage certificate. The surnames there are twisted into mine and my wife's. Constantly, when we come across any processes related to working with documents (international passport, exchange of a passport-booklet for a plastic one, etc.), we hear that something needs to be done about the fact that we are entered in the databases somehow incorrectly because of this marriage certificate. It would seem that after him all the documents are already correct, the last name is the same for our entire family, but when we received plastic a few years ago, they did not want to serve us again, something was not recorded in the database about our relationship. That part of Luhansk region is currently under occupation and we have not been able to take an extract since 2014, of course. Plus, we still don't really understand what we need to collect and which authorities to apply to, in our local RATS they only advise us to go to court, there - to a lawyer, the one who listened to us - sends us to the RATS... Currently, such a discrepancy can become a problem if the wife needs to re-register some property or inheritance for herself... We decided to ask on your website.
