Name change with N400

[joshue 4]

Did anyone change their name during the filing of N-400?

How did it go? A mean is just click that box and type the new name and that's it? Did the new name was printed the naturalization certificate?

Thanks

You check the box, type a new name, then in the interview they will ask you again, and you will sign the form about name change. After interview your papers will go to the court, and after this you will go to the Oath (probably to the special court room). I guess, you will have two Certificates: name change and Naturalization (with new name).

Yes, that is what my wife did and that is exactly what happened.

Weren't there anybody change their minor child's name while they file for N400?

Please kindly let me know how. Because we're planning to do that for my 7 years old boy. He is from my previous marriage,but he is answering my maiden name. We want to change his last name to my current husband. We will be eligible to apply for N400 in Nov.

Thank you very much.

For children, you have no option to change name for free.

You should go to the local family court and apply for name changing there. You can do it now or later. After court will process your child application and give you the order AND you will be a citizen yourself, you can apply for kid's passport or Certificate of Citizenship(which is better, in my opinion), and your child will use his new name legally.

I think your son can use his new name legally even with only a court order, but with his citizenship you will be done with ALL paperwork for kid's future.

Thank you very much for your quick respond. For sure I'll apply for his N600.

Any new yorkers that changed their names??

I live in NYC, Manhattan to be more specific.

I wonder if it'll take longer for me to get an oath day,

Since oath ceremony needs to take place in a judicial court.

I wonder how often they have those.

Pretty much.

The I.O. will ask you about everything you entered into your N-400 form, and that includes your new name. He'll then fill out the name change form 3 times and you'll sign it with your new name. One version stays with the registrar's office, one with the USCIS, and one you'll find stapled to your Certificate of Naturalization when you pick it up after the Oath.
