“...1963 after she changed her name with Social Security from Stanley Ann Dunham to Ann Dunham Obama...”
In 1961 she was 19, in 1963 she was 21.
If someone is 21 or over, it takes a court order to do a name change.
If under 21, one could go with their parents and file at the county records; no court paperwork (my mom did that, when she was under 21).
I wonder what supporting documents Stanley Ann used, when she went to court to do the name change.
I’m looking for that soc sec form someone posted, showing the name change.
Sorry about that, I only noticed your question today. That Social Security doc you want is up on Google images.

it doesn’t look like any big deal, all she had to do was supply the name of her previous registration.
