i dont think you can change your god parents but if your parents send them a letter explaining that they are released from being your god parent and they apoint someone new - on paper infront of witnesses which sign to say they are wittnesses, then the law should reconize it.

Here the views of the Catholic Church: "SUBSTITUTING THE GODPARENT 42. As sad as it is to say, from time to time clerics are asked how one should go about replacing a godparent. Had serious thought been given to the original choice of a godparent, ninety percent of these situations would be avoided. 43. The relationship between a godparent and godchild may come to an end as a result of some of the following reasons: 43.1 the death of the godparent; 43.2 conflict between the godparent and the parent of the child; 43.3 the godparent moving away; 43.4 the godparent no longer wanting to be part of the life of the child, etc... 44. Officially, the title of godparent cannot be taken away from a person and assigned to someone else. The following are two reasons for this final decision: 44.1 During the Sacrament of Baptism, the godparent acted as a witness to the Baptism of the child. Should Church records ever be destroyed by fire, the godparent is a witness to the fact that on a certain date and at a certain place, a certain child was baptized in the faith by a certain priest in the presence of his/her parents in accordance with the baptismal formula of the Catholic Church. 44.2 In the isolated areas of some countries, the Baptismal Certificate is the only proof of citizenship of the child. Such a document includes the date and place of birth, the name of the parents, the godparents and the priest who administered the Sacrament. To amend such a document would be a forgery. 45. In cases where the friendship between the godparent and godchild has come to an end, the parent can simply ask someone else to be involved in the child's life. If the child has not been confirmed as of yet, that person can be chosen as the child's godparent when the Sacrament of Confirmation is administered. 46. Some parents have suggested that by having their child re- baptized, they would be able to appoint a new godparent? According to the teaching of the Catholic Church, a person can only receive the Sacrament Baptism once in his/her lifetime. "Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation. [Cf. Rom 8:29; Council of Trent (1547): DS 1609-1619] Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated." (C.C.C. # 1272) 47. Nor can a child be re-confirmed to change a godparent. "Like Baptism which it completes, Confirmation is given only once, for it too imprints on the soul an indelible spiritual mark, the 'character,' which is the sign that Jesus Christ has marked a Christian with the seal of his Spirit by clothing him with power from on high so that he may be his witness." [Cf. Council Of Trent (1547) DS 1609; Lk 24:48-49] (C.C.C. # 1304)" Source and further information: http://www.catholicdoors.com/courses/godpar.htm Further information: - "Godparents, You're Fired!": http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=75172&highlight=godparent+certificate - "Is it possible to change your child's godparent?": http://forums.catholic.com/showthread.php?t=109480 - "Changing Godparents": http://www.saint-mike.org/apologetics/qa/Answers/Faith_Spirituality/f0210300009.html - "Changing the Godparent": http://www.catholicdoors.com/faq/qu129.htm

Outside of the religious practice, there is no legal status of godparents.
