You can give it a try the same day you are having your oath ceremony. However, if the ceremony ends late, I doubt you can get your passport the same day (same-day passport usually requires an early arrival to passport agencies) Why don't you go there on the following Monday or Tuesday? Be there early and take your certificate of naturalization and proof of travel with you.

You need to plan for at least 3 hours. My oath ceremony notice said show up at 9. They didn't have everybody (390+ immigrants - they rented a concert hall) in their seats and underway until 10. I know the oath was administered between 10:38 and 10:40, and I don't think we were out of there until well after 11.

Obviously this will vary radically from office to office. Not everybody does the big productions the Salt Lake Office seems to prefer (the immediately previous oath ceremony that a coworker of mine attended 2.5 months earlier was the same kind of thing).

Do we receive the naturalization certificate right after the oath? So I could go right away to the passport agency?

Yes, you will receive the naturalization certificate at the oath ceremony, after you take the oath, usually as you leave.

You will need to sign it, making sure your signature matches the one next to the photograph.

You could then go directly to the passport agency. Make sure you have proof of imminent travel, and I think you may need to book the passport agency appointment ahead of time.
