A:
It seems like you have all the necessary documents to change your name back to your old name. The court order stating your old and new name, along with your original birth certificate showing your old name, are essential documents for this process. Additionally, having a social security card with your new name and an out-of-state issued ID with your new name can help establish your identity.
To ensure a smooth name change process, you should contact your local government office or courthouse where name changes are processed. They will guide you through the specific steps and requirements for your area. Typically, you'll need to fill out an application, provide these documents as proof, and pay any associated fees.
Remember to keep copies of all documents and records related to this name change for your records. It's always a good idea to consult with a legal professional or the relevant authorities in your jurisdiction to ensure you're following the correct procedures for your specific situation.
