The New South Wales Government has announced it will introduce legislation in parliament this week to prevent prisoners from applying to the Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages for a new name. Inmates and forensic patients will be blocked from submitting any application to the BDM if a name change is reasonably likely to: threaten security; jeopardise a personâs health or safety; or be used for an unlawful purpose.
