“According to practice, during marriage, a woman can express her wish to take her husband’s surname, and in this case, the marriage certificate states that the wife’s father’s surname is this and she will take a different surname during marriage,” attorney Marat Atovmyan said in a conversation with Iravaban.net.

According to him, this is the basis so that the woman does not have to change other documents she received before marriage.

“During a divorce, especially if the relationship between the spouses is irreconcilable, there are cases when the wife no longer wants to have the last name of her ex-husband, and in this case, if the divorce is registered in the Civil Status Acts Registration Agency, then the wife can express her will that her original surname be recorded in the divorce certificate. If the divorce takes place through the court, in this case, when the court decision enters into legal force and the woman applies to the Civil Status Acts Registration Agency to register the divorce and receive a divorce certificate, she can submit an appropriate application that she wants to return her former surname. In this case the surname will be changed,” Atovmyan noted.
