Citizenship Certificate Questio

[matri978]

Hi

I would like to know - Do you PRINT (WRITE) your name on the certificate at the line provided or do you do the true signature (like when you sign a check) ?

It is little confusing from te language in the document they gave at Oath Ceremony.

Thanks

If I remember correctly, they told us (orally or on a slip of paper) to sign our full names. My first and last names appear to be signed by an adult. My middle name (which I never use) looks like it was signed by a kid in 6th grade.

Flydog is right. You have to sign your full name.

Oath officials told us there are two options:-
1. Write your full name in cursive (joined) letters - this is the preferred method.
- or -
2. Print your full name in block letters if you can't do readable cursive.

Either way, the end result must be legible.

if i printed my name (all caps) in my picture during the interview, should i also print them or sign in cursive in the certificate?

I believe you must print your name on your picture - that's what I was told to do.

You should follow the instructions given you by the USCIS officers at the ceremony. I'm sure they won't mind taking a moment extra to clarify any concerns or questions.
