When applying for U.S. citizenship through naturalization an individual has the opportunity to legally change his/her name. The name of the document is Petition for Name Change. If you plan to use this document in a foreign country, it will have to be Apostille or Authenticated which is a two-step process. Step 1: DOJ certification and Step 2: USDOS Apostille. The turnaround time depends on the workload for the DOJ and the USDOS. We hand-deliver the documents to the DOJ and keep in communication with their office to ensure the process is going smoothly.
