Is there a guide for which documents to file first after naturalizing?

[kaussie 0]

Hi there - I've lived in the U.S. for almost 10 years but finally naturalized this year, so I have driver's license, SS, passport, bank accounts, cell phone etc. Is there a guide for which documents to file first/get updated first, then second, etc? 

 

Bonus points if anyone can explain what to do about my married name vs. given name. I got my naturalization certificate in my given name but was told with my marriage license I'll be able to use my married name. Is that what I should put on my passport application form, my married name? Or the name on my naturalization certificate? 

 

Thank you!!

It would be wise to do the ss first.If u go to the dmv before ss u might have a problem
