Hi, I have been living in Thailand for almost 4 years with my daughter. I am a single mom, and my daughter is studying at the same school I am working at. During the start of my first school year at the school, my daughter's homeroom teacher asked me of her passport. Later on, I asked her for my child's name written in Thai so I can have it embroidered on her uniform. After 1 and half year, I realized that the name they have been using of my daughter is my family name (maiden name. and never married. just have a kid), not her father's which is actually what's written on her passport.

Now i would like to ask what I can do to have it changed? Should there be any documents or affidavits I need to submit for them to correct my daughter's name and reflect it on her school records (such as report card etc...) or I can just directly tell them "hey, change my daughter's family name".

Any help, opinion or suggestion, or anyone who had experienced it before, please give me some feedback. Thank you!

you work at the school, ask them. jeez
