I wouldn't mind waiting as long as it's possible to do so.meself2 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 8:32 amMy advice would be to avoid name change for this, just so you don't complicate things and add another few months to your naturalization timeline. You will get a naturalization cert, which would be in your old name, as all your govt documents, but it'll just be stored in your own document storage, besides being sent once for a passport, in most cases. I'd ask DFA we chat about possibility to apply for a passport in a different name - it might as well be possible.
I'm mostly worried about changing my name before naturalisation and the certificate.Yk_Krsh wrote: ↑Wed Feb 14, 2024 9:43 amfor passport, you'll need two different documents dated from at least two years ago with the name you want to use. For instance, if you're applying in March 2024, the documents should be from March 2022 or earlier. Deed poll isn't accepted, but proof of name usage is enough.
