Name Change in Denmark: Difference between revisions

Navneændring means that a person changes his name and such as, taking a new surname. Throughout most the 1800s the state tried without much luck to instruct the people to keep fixed family names. From 1892 onwards was the name that a person had been recorder with in the church books, therefore, frozen - even if the person was not using it. The many protests by the population to no longer be able to decide or choose his own surname led the state in 1903 to try to solve this problem, an experimental system that has continued in name of the law of 22 April 1904th Until 1903 they had only been able to have his name changed by royal authorization. After the new law could be easier (and cheaper) get a new surname.
