My deceased father did not have a birth certificate. He was baptized with a name that he never used. All other Sacramental records feature the name he commonly used. For purposes of obtaining dual-citizenship, I will probably be getting a “one and the same” court order. Can I get a similar document from the Church and have his commonly used name added to his Baptismal Certificate?
His original church issued a new certificate that was not notarized properly and differed from the Baptismal Register. The Diocese would only issue a letter certifying the validity of the parish and registry.
Is there somewhere in Canon Law that I can find information on this problem?

Thanks! Found the handbook for my Archdiocese. Very helpful. Hope I can at least get the spelling corrected. Do you know if they have to comply if it’s in the handbook?
