Legal name change

Hi everyone I have a question regarding the I-129F

 

My  question is, it states on the instructions for the I-129F that "Evidence of U.S. citizenship which may include any of the following"

Does this mean I can just send my valid passport? And not my birth certificate? The reason I ask is because my birth certificate has my old name which does not match my new legal name on my passport. Should I send a copy of my birth certificate anyway with a copy of the document showing my legal name change by a judge?

 

I am aware that there is a section to provide additional names or aliases, which I will of course fill out. 

 

Thanks everyone!

In my opinion, the more evidences you have the better so it would be really good to include birth certificate (old name), legal document showing name change, and passport (showing current name).

 

Those are all important supporting documents :D
