If you want to change your legal name, you need to use a legal process. You are free to use an alias or a nickname at any time, but that is not your legal name. The reason for your name change will dictate which legal process you need to follow.
A Statutory Declaration of Name Change is a formal document used to change a persons name using the proper legal procedures. A Statutory Declaration of Name Change can be used if you want official organisations (eg employers or banks) to recognise your new name.
A certified copy of the courts order to change your name can be requested from the court that issued the order. The Social Security office is one place that asks for official proof of a name change. The Department of Motor Vehicles is another. This is so you can get a new Social Security card and state ID.
N-400 Name Change You can request your name change during your naturalization interview by completing the name change request section on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. You will then receive a certificate proving your legal name change during your swearing-in ceremony.
An Affidavit of Name Change is a sworn statement that is used to verify the identity of a person who operates under multiple names. This document can be helpful for anyone who is using a name that has not been changed officially by a court or changed through marriage.
