I just got my naturalization certificate yesterday, problem is I don't know how to sign it. I have read the many threads on this forum about this and there seems to be contention over whether the signature should match the photo or if it should be your full name in cursive. My problem is that my certificate doesn't have my signature on my photo, does this seem odd? Could it be part of the new redesign of the certificates:

uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=d7592699c75db210VgnVCM100000082ca60aRCRD&vgnextchannel=68439c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD

Though my certificate still has a space to sign by hand.

Thanks for any advice!
 
Did you get one of the new certificates with the picture embedded in it or is it regular photo that is attached to the certificate?

If embedded, where is the embossed seal, if any?
 
It seems to be a photo attached to the certificate, but it has an embossed seal over the bottom right corner. Do the old certificates not have an embossed seal?

You have the previous version of the certificate - it has a picture glued to it and an embossed seal over it. Why the IO at your interview did not ask you to sign the photo - I don't know, but you still have to sign the certificate itself. If I were you, I would just write my full name in cursive and not sweat about it because nobody really cares (the Dept of State doesn't care for sure).

I signed my photo & Certificate of Naturalization differently, but received passport and updated SSN with no problem ,i think König is right Dept of State doesn't care as long as you signed it yourself.
