Waiting for court order for name change

[oldies1057 0]

My wife received her Naturalization Certificate at a federal district court judicial swearing-in ceremony yesterday. She applied for and was approved a name change as part of the N-400 application/interview process. Her certificate does show her NEW name but she was told by an immigration official at the ceremony that the court order for name change must still be processed and will be mailed to her in approx. 2 weeks or so. My understanding was that both documents would be issued yesterday but that did not happen. My concern now is that for a couple of weeks she still has all of her legal IDs in her old name & previous status as a green card holder, but it appears none of those can be changed without the name change court order. So she is now a US citizen with a certificate that reflects a different name. Makes me a little nervous in case something happened where she had to prove identity and status.

Has anyone else been in this situation and, if so, did you have any problems?

Call the court clerk’s office and ask if the judge signed the order. If the clerk says that they did, ask how you can get a hard copy. If you need it ASAP, you can just drive to the courthouse and pick it up.

That's what I did and it worked out great. They mailed it out the same day. Really appreciate the help because we still have not received the one from immigration. Thank you!
