Is it legal for one parent to change a child's name on their Health Card without the other parent's consent.?

We Answered:

Did she ever have a card in the other name? Provincial Health Departments sometimes have unusual naming procedures. It's usually not possible (or very difficult) to CHANGE the name, and they may require both names in order to allow both parents to deal with the child's medical needs.

Quebec specifically has different rules regarding the mother's name, so perhaps this is some offshoot of those policies.

I'm in BC, and we've essentially given up on trying to convince the BC Medical that my son has NEVER gone by his mother's maiden name (nor does she, and yes, we were married and she was using her married name long before he was born). But that's the way they have it on file, and we cannot seem to change it.

Bureaucracies, don't you love them?
