N 400 - Unsure About Name Question

[Tojime 0]

Hello Everyone

 

I am currently on a 10 year green card.  We have finally decided to move forward decided to move forward with my citizenship after about 11 years of marriage.  We are unsure however on a question which I am hoping someone can help with.  It asks his legal first middle last name.  However he is the III (third) ex John Adam Smith III.  We are unsure if we should put the III in the last name column.  The paperwork states to list it exactly the same as his birth certificate.  He was born in the state of Florida and the  birth certificate document only has a single line for the child's name and does not make any distinction between them .  His passport has the Smith III as his surname. Under his given names it has  John Adam. Would that mean we put Smith III in the last name field on the N400?

 

Thank you for any guidance.

I'm a U.S. citizen by birth.

 

My birth certificate says Firstname Middlename Lastname III.

My Social Security card says Firstname Middlename Lastname III.

My U.S. Passport says Lastname III for the Surname and Firstname Middlename for the Given Names.

 

On my wife's N-400 application, "Legal Name of Current Spouse", I have Lastname III for the "Family Name (Last Name)", Firstname for the "Given Name (First Name)", and Middlename for the "Middle Name (if applicable)".  Her application was approved on the first try.

 

My father, Firstname Middlename Lastname Jr., had issues with DUIs in his life.  I make an effort not to be confused with him when it comes to paperwork going to the government.

 

I would put Smith III in the last name field of the N-400 application.
