Can children take the woman's surname?

A child born can take the woman's surname. In other words, children can take their mother's surname, but they usually take their father's surname. Calves often have to bear more pressure. In this regard, most of the pressure is borne by children. For example, when strangers hear that they take their mother's surname, they may think of "divorce and change their surname", adopted sons and even "illegitimate children".

To put it simply, there is no legal restriction on a person's name (there are restrictions on changing his name and surname).

Legally, under any of the following circumstances, surnames other than father's surname and mother's surname can also be chosen: 1, the blood surname of the immediate ancestor; 2. People other than legal supporters support and choose the surname of the dependents; 3. There are other legitimate reasons that do not violate public order and good customs. If we omit the surnames of national natural persons, we can follow our own cultural traditions and customs.

1. The materials required for renaming are as follows: 1. A written application of the applicant; 2. If the parents are divorced and change their surnames to less than 16 years old, they need to provide divorce proof procedures, and both parents should write an agreement and sign it; 3. Household registration book and resident identity card; 4, belongs to the organs, organizations, schools, enterprises and institutions staff, should be submitted to the unit, the school personnel department approved the change of proof, is a student, should be submitted to the school approved the change of proof; 5.

People who are being imprisoned, re-educated through labor and taking criminal compulsory measures; 3. The mastered civil cases have not been concluded or executed; 4.
