AName change during naturalization adds complication and potential delay when a judge is not available as Jim mentions. Name change after naturalization seems easy. Then you will have a court order for the name change unrelated to naturalization to provide to banks, etc. Keeping the 2 processes separate seems best to me.
Well, I changed my name and from the interview date until the ceremony, It took me about a month. In my case, I didn't have to wait that long for a ceremony. But I agree with you.
Keeping that separate seems more of a hassle and time consuming as well as legal fees added. Doing it during naturalization is a smoother process, saves you time and money and often times, the ceremony will be within a month out, even the same day if it’s in a big city.
Good info but to all those make sure you research if you have citizenship in your country can be very complicated to the name change if you dont have original documents as you might require to have your countries passport even with US passport your country may not let you in!
A friend of mine had her maiden name initialized as her middle name and her married name as her last name on both her green card and now her naturalization certificate.
Change name question: What would be the steps for us to go through should we want to do it here in San Francisco given that there is no judge. Also can we go to other counties or places to go through this process that comes with a judge. Thanks you sir.

Thank you for the useful video!! I have a question that I'd really appreciate if you'd answer it. My oath ceremony is in less than 2 days. I know I'm supposed to sign the Certificate of Citizenship upon receiving it. Since I've requested a name change, do I sign with my new name, noting that I already have an official signature with my current name associated with my bank account, driver's license, etc.?

When writing "other names used since birth" do those other names become public record for anyone to search for and find? Does the country that I'd be coming from, Australia, give the United States those legal name change documents? If so, would those become public record for anyone to see? And would it make any difference if i was born in the United States and the previous name was once on a birth certificate and social security card? I'm trying to escape from a covert narcissist by changing my name and not letting her find out the new one so she can't search for me and find me. Thank you.
The uscis officers simplified name by removing my mother’s side name of my full Brazilian name, but she did it all without a federal judge. What is the implication now by her doing on her own without a judge?

I'm going to apply for US citizenship, my greencard has my first name, middle name, father's last name and mother's last name in that order. My Social Security card and every other document and bank accounts have my first name and my father's last name. I have never really used my mother's last name. For the citizenship application which should i put when it asks for my legal name?

It doesn’t work like that, they’d still be able to change your name on your license during the process before naturalization. Immigration Advices are not tailored, You’ll need a consult for that

It took me less than a month to change my name from the interview to the oath of allegance.

Doing it during naturalization is a smoother process, saves you time and money and often times, the ceremony will be within a month out, even the same day if it’s in a big city.
Thank you for such a wide clear answer!
Glad it was helpful!
