If you want to do that, you may want to do it through court and that too before you apply for N600/Passport so he/she would get changed name in moving forward documents.

From what I heard, it is very simple process (It may vary from county to county so check with your county to be sure)

• Get name change packet from court
• Fill out and submit with required fees
• Court would run name change advertisement etc
• If no objections within 30 days, they would approve the name change and issue a court order
• Use that while applying for PP/N600

Good Luck

You can request a name change even during the citizenship application process. you need to indicate it on the form itself. It will be addressed during the Oath ceremony which will be in the presence of a judge. The citizenship certificate will have the changed name on it.

No, the OP is talking about a name change for an under-18 child. There is no name change option for under-18 children in the citizenship process; the child's name change must be done in a separate court process.
