Yes, thank you. If I do it through the courts, can I change both my first and last name at the same time?

I don't have a naturalization certificate. I am a citizen through my parents, however I didn't file the N600. I took my parents' naturalization certificates and my foreign birth certificate and requested a US passport.

Background - I have been a greencard holder since I was 3 (I am 33 now) and brough all of my paperwork in to get a US passport. My first name is Miyon, but it has always showed up as Mi yon on all of my legal documents, which is fine. However, I lost my greencard about 5 years ago and when I...

Thank you SO MUCH Huracan! I almost had a heart attack!

I applied for my N400 but it was denied because the letter stated I was already a citizen through my parents. Does anybody know if this still applies as far as passports go: If You Claim Citizenship Through Naturalization Of Parent(s): Submit the Certificate(s) of Naturalization of your...

Have these rules changed? I can't seem to find this anywhere on the USCIS website anymore.

Thank you. I am in the US and will have it done locally. Does it matter that my dad changed his first name when he received his citizenship, or that my mom has her maiden name on the birth certificate?

That's what I meant, sorry. I meant that my birth certificate is in Korean and that I need it translated and notarized. Does it need to be apostilled as well?

I finally received my original birth certificate so that I can submit it along with my parents' naturalization certificates to get my US Passport. My passport is in Korean. Do I need to have this translated/notarized before I submit it? If so, where can I do this? Will they accept any...

Thanks Hochi! I made an infopass appt (in person) for tomorrow to drop of the G-884 form (Return of Original Documents). Hopefully the IO will be able to shed some light on what I need to do. I know for sure they have my original birth certificate because my parents applied for my...

Sorry for so many questions - Does anybody know if the Birth Certificate (assuming that I can get one) needs to be translated or notarized? It doesn't specify on the US Passport website. Thanks !!!

I'm in a bit of a catch-22 here. It looks like I will need a copy of my original birth certificate to file the N-600 too, so how the heck do I get around that?? Please help!!

I looked at this form, but it requires a Naturalization Certificate #. Does this mean I can't request?

Thanks for all of your answers and suggestions. I was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1975...so it has been a very long time!

^^Thanks. Would I contact them to obtain a copy of my foreign birth certificate?
