Hello. I am over 18 and I want to change my name, but I have several questions. I apologize for the hassle and thank you for your patience.
1. I was not born in Canada, so if I change my name here, will I have to change my American birth certificate name as well?
My mother will accept it if I change my name as long as the US birth certificate name remains the same.
2. Must I change my passport immediately, or can I wait until it expires?
I just applied for the 10 year passport before I decided to change my name, and would have to go through the process again immediately if I must immediately change it.
3. I am quite sure this isn't permitted, but kanji/asian characters are not allowed, correct? Only the English version.
Thank you |
