If the child’s name is changed, the household registration should be changed, and the vaccination book and birth certificate should be changed.

After a citizen’s name is changed, he or she can bring the original household registration book to the hospital to apply for a name change in the child’s vaccination book. The birth certificate will not be changed.

The "Medical Birth Certificate" is uniformly printed by the National Health and Family Planning Commission and is uniformly numbered by province, autonomous region, and municipality directly under the Central Government.

The National Health and Family Planning Commission is in charge of the national "Medical Birth Certificate" work, and entrusts health administrative departments at all levels to be responsible for the specific affairs management of "Medical Birth Certificate" within their jurisdiction.

The "Medical Birth Certificate" must be issued by a medical care institution that is approved to provide midwifery technical services and has obtained the "Maternal and Infant Health Care Technical Service License" in accordance with the law.
