The Plenary. Judgment 50/2023 is one of the most relevant cases resolved by the Constitutional Court concerning the order of surnames. In said judgment, which is analyzed in the present work, the mentioned body ruled against the tradition of interpreting and/or recording a person's paternal surname as the first surname, as it affects the rights to equality and identity. In this regard, this work, in light of the mentioned case, analyzes and determines (i) whether the Court is competent to develop the interpretative sense of a legal provision, article 20 of the Civil Code, in a process of amparo; and (ii) whether the existence of a pre-established order of surnames violates the right to equality of mothers and its impact on the identity of the minor. This is with the objective that, in case these rights are not fully guaranteed, alternative solutions are provided for their protection. Based on the analysis of books, articles, and national and international norms, we conclude that the Constitutional Court can interpret, via amparo, articles of legal provisions such as the Civil Code to guarantee the effective protection of constitutional rights; and that interpreting that there is an order for surnames prioritizing the paternal surname violates a mother's right to equality and negatively impacts the identity of the minor when their surname is modified by that order. Therefore, with the purpose of safeguarding these rights, amendments to the Civil Code were proposed.
