Name Change After Oath

[sjn2003]

Oath Scheduled for next week. While applying for N400 I did not opt to change my name. After the interview the IO had showed me a printout to verify information as it appears in the Citizenship Certificate.
Now I am thinking to Change my Name. Questions:

How can I change my name now ?.
How can I change name on the Citizenship Certificate ?.

I want the passport to be issued in the new name- How is it possible if I am unable to get the Certificate Changed ?.

If I change name any time later, Do I have to notify USCIS.

Please help.
Thanks In Advance.

If you change your name between the interview and oath, you have to notify USCIS and it is likely to delay your case.

You can change your name after the oath via a separate court process. They will give you a name change order, and you can use that order in combination with the naturalization certificate to get a passport in your new name. You don't need to change the name on the naturalization certificate if you don't want to. It costs hundreds of dollars to change it.

Thank you Jackolantern.

But would it be a problem if USCIS finds out later or at the airport when the immigration officer checks in the computer ?.
How will the Employment verification I-9 will work ?.
Do I have to notify Social Security Admin about a name change ?.

Above all, Has anybody here done a name change after the oath ?.

Thank you all a bunch!

It's not a problem. You'll be using your US passport at the airport, and if you applied for the passport after changing your name, and showed the name change document when applying for the passport, the passport will have your new name.

How will the Employment verification I-9 will work ?

Show your US passport.

Do I have to notify Social Security Admin about a name change ?.

Yes, and you also should visit them to have them update your new citizenship status.
