In this report we will analyze the legal institution of name change in the Peruvian legal system, regarding the Casación N.º1532-2017/Huánuco. Specifically, we are going to examine if it is correct to interpret in accordance with article 29 of the Peruvian Civil Code, that psychological affectation or violation of the right of identity constitute justified reasons for a judicial name change to proceed. We consider that the Specialized Chamber of the Supreme Court of Justice of the Republic was correct to abandon the restrictive interpretation of Casación N.º3906-2012/Huánuco, by declaring that name changes do proceed when it has been proven that the plaintiff has suffered clear psychological damage by being the victim of ridicule, jokes and insults, given that it is essential to protect the right to identity and dignity of individuals. However, we consider that this ruling made a mistake when it discarded as irrelevant all the cases where the justification of the name change is linked to the absurd or offensive definition of the same name in isolation from the specific circumstances. Furthermore, this ruling also made a mistake when it established as a binding precedent that a list of background information must be attached for the admission of name change plaints, given that this would be discriminatory and not be necessary. Despite these criticisms, in general, this ruling is a progress regarding the protection of the right to a name and the contemporary necessity to deregulate the criteria of immutability.
