Whenever a person changes his or her name, as provided in this chapter, he or she shall provide the probate court with a copy of his or her birth certificate and, if married, a copy of his or her civil marriage certificate, and a copy of the birth certificate of each minor child, if any. The register of probate with whom the change of name is filed and recorded shall transmit the certificates and a certified copy of such instrument of change of name to the supervisor of vital records registration. The supervisor of vital records registration shall forward such instrument of change of name to the town clerk in the town where the person was born within the state, or wherein the original certificate is filed, with instructions to amend the original certificate and all copies thereof in accordance with the provisions of Title 18, chapter 101. Such amended certificates shall have the words "Court Amended" stamped, written, or typed at the top and shall show that the change of name was made pursuant to this chapter.
