Amend has basically the same meaning in common usage as it does in the legal arena. When a legal document is amended, it is edited, corrected or changed in some way.
Unfortunately, your previous legal name will still appear on your amended birth certificate. All certified copies of your amended birth certificate will have your previous name, struck out or crossed out, with your new legal name printed next to, or above your previous legal name.
To make a correction to your U.S. birth certificate, you must contact the correction/amendments department at the vital records office that issued the original birth certificate. This department will be able to help you make a change to your birth certificate.
Basically, you can amend the complaint once as a matter of right. But you must do it before the defendant files a responsive pleading. Or you must do it before the due date for an opposition to a demurrer or motion to strike.
