Members of the Zhogorku Kenesh, Kyrgyzstan's parliament, have introduced a new legislative bill. The proposal seeks to allow parents to assign double surnames to their children during the birth registration process. To implement this change, lawmakers intend to amend the existing law regarding civil status acts. This move would provide families with more flexibility in naming their children. The bill is currently under consideration by the legislative body. If passed, it will modernize the country's approach to civil registration.
