I changed my first and middle name in 2018 for personal reasons. I decided to use my passport as proof of US citizenship, since it has my updated name, and I never updated my birth certificate. I included my old name in the "other names used" section of my I-129F form, and have both the petition and the court order for my legal name change. Do I need to submit both the "petition for legal name change" along with the "court order for legal name change"? Or is just the second one fine?

 

It seems like an obvious question, that only the court order would be fine, but I recall bringing both the petition and the court order to the DMV and other government agencies. I can't recall whether both were actually necessary.

If possible, I don't want to include the petition as it has a blank line for "attorney's name" (I didnt have to appear in court), and a circle next to it as if there's missing information.

 

Just hoping this is a silly question and the court order alone will be fine. Thanks in advance!
