Spouse and I have legally changed the last name of our child when he was 6 in our country of residence, well before applying for immigration.
We opened a legal action, a judge accepted and we received a new birth certificate. There's no official document declaring "the name was Y, now it's X". All we have are both birth certificates, old and new.
We could, however, go to government website and print the Verdict document, where the judge that handled it writes his decision and orders the name to change from Y to X. It has the legal action number, our names, etc. However this is not stamped, signed or anything. I downloaded and printed it myself.
So I'd like your opinion on this: 1) Do you think attaching both birth certificates and a LOE is enough? 2) Do you think the Verdict document that I printed myself is irrelevant? It will delay the submission and costs lots of translation money, so I don't want attach it unless it can make a difference.
Thanks
