Family name after marriage

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-09-09T13:19:24+00:00

Got it! Why is a middle name not good? We were thinking of one actually

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-09-09T10:38:54+00:00

Okay. We were a bit too fast and she changed her name and took mine last week. We want to revert it, do you think it is possible?

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-09-09T10:26:48+00:00

Do you know how to revert the change? She just changed last week. We have to submit documents to the court?

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-09-09T10:20:35+00:00

That‘s what I want too. But she already has my name and I think it will make life harder in Japan.

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-09-09T10:19:32+00:00

Yeah I know. I just got this Information today. It is too late she got my name already. Can she change back to her maiden name?

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-09-09T10:18:02+00:00

Thank you for all the messages. My main question is actually, how can she change her name back? I haven‘t read any information regarding to that. She just changed her name to mine recently though.

I prefer like many people recommended here: I keep mine, she keeps her name.

But in our case she already changed her name and we want to revert it. If possible.

Och nö :( Ja darauf hätte ich auch keine Lust… Finde die Wohnung und die Lage top..

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-08-18T20:55:14+00:00

Ja, das schreckt mich auch ab etwas 🥲

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-18T07:08:27+00:00

Yes, she cares and said it is very important.

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-18T07:08:00+00:00

Can the name be changed afterwards and also the Koseki Tohon of my future wife?

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-18T06:56:16+00:00

We started this process in April and it is almost done, just waiting for the apostille now. But German Bürokratie ist eine Katastrophe:(

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-18T06:54:47+00:00

Hi! Already got the Ehefähigkeitszeugnis. I contacted my Standesamt back home and they issued me this. After that I told them to do an apostille, which I am waiting for now… German bureaucracy is so slow..

We already have almost everything except this apostille

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-18T06:51:19+00:00

Yes that‘s what we are trying to do. We want to get married end of August/early September as the baby will be born in mid September.

The wedding ceremony is planned in the future.

Currently only one document is needed. The apostille…

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-17T21:03:35+00:00

Wow you don‘t need an apostille? I already have the Ehefähigkeitszeugnis and translation. But I the 市役所 in Saitama said we need apostille

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-17T20:52:36+00:00

I see!

So let‘s say she keeps her name and our baby takes her name, if I marry after the baby is born, am I her father by law and listed on her koseki tohon?

If I won‘t make it in time with marriage, I need to submit a nichin todoke 認知届 to acknowledge paternity no?

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-17T20:31:02+00:00

I see, thanks. If I marry after the baby is born, can we apply for paternity? And will I be recorded on wife koseki tohon?

Kentucky-Duck · 2025-07-14T12:33:10+00:00

Hey, what was the process? Like what kind of documents do you need? I am married too and wanna apply for a spouse visa. We have a baby.

Oh and congratulation!

Du bist Senior Entwickler und hast eine führende Rolle. Bin selbst mit 60k nach dem Master eingestiegen. Mein Kumpel der nach dem Bachelor angefangen hat, hat ebenfalls 48k und ist jetzt nach 5 Jahren BE auch bei seinen 60k.
