Hi,

I have to travel 3-4 days after my oath ceremony. I'm thinking to go the same day to get my passport in person.

The question is, Should I update the SSN (Social Security number) as citizen BEFORE getting the passport?

Thanks,

Javier

I would do the passport first since you are traveling soon after your Oath. You can update your SSN anytime after you get your passport.

Get your passport first as you have a tighter timeline on that front.

It's suggested you wait up to ten days post-ceremony to file your SSN update, to be sure everything is up to date. SSN updates shouldn't be quite as pressing, so wait until you come back.
