Naturalisation cert signature

[Vegas i-751 66]

Hey all, 

 

Do you sign the naturalisation cert with your regular signature you sign forms with or do you write your name on that line as it appears on form? Thanks

Thanks. 
 

“signature of the bearer” to me translates as your regular signature you use for all documents aside from immigration purposes.

Sorry for being confused, what photo would that be?

Me personally, I signed my full name (which is different from my photo/regular signature) on my naturalization certificate. USCIS at the interview even made me do a trial run on how I wanted to sign it before I actually signed the real thing. They didn't say it should match my photo signature and they didn't compare it the photo signature. I remember asking if it was ok to sign my full name and they said sure but practice on this fake certificate first and when satisfied sign the real one. This was a few ago at Newark. Needless to say I have filed petitions with my naturalization cert with no issues at all.

 

Fast forward to this year, at my wife's naturalization at Newark they were all given blank signature naturalization certs to basically take take home and sign themselves. They did not enforce the signature signing on-site. My guess is it's a by-product of some of the covid related changes at Newark field office. She got home and signed with her regular signature.
