Hi,

My wife completed her naturalization (I am just waiting for my oath ceremony). Her naturalization certificate was issued with her married name as she requested. Does that mean she has legally changed her name or is there an additional step?

I read somehwere (but can't find the thread again) that you may still need to apply for a name change in a court. She had a judicial oath ceremony (Houston, may 2015).

If she goes to change her name at the DMV is her certificate enough?

Thanks!

She can use her marriage certificate as proof of her name change.

She'll need both the marriage certificate and the naturalization certificate at the DPS.

This is assuming the only change was to take her husband's last name or to hyphenate names.
