Pwede itong gawin. Kung ang current residence or domicile naman ay iba sa lugar kung saan nakaregister ang birth certificate, maaaring magfile ng petition sa local civil registrar (LCR) na pinakamalapit sa petitioner pero may karagdagang bayad na service fee. Ayon rin sa PSA, P500.00 ang additional na bayad para sa correction of clerical error at P1,000.00 naman na additional para sa change of name na ayon sa 3 grounds sa RA 9048:
(1) The petitioner finds the first name or nickname to be ridiculous, tainted with dishonor or extremely difficult to write or pronounce;
(2) The new first name or nickname has been habitually and continuously used by the petitioner and he has been publicly known by that by that first name or nickname in the community; or
(3) The change will avoid confusion.
