Simply go to your county courthouse or municipal court and have it changed. Usually, it is a rather easy and painless task.

My daughter was born in England and had dual citizenship upon her birth. I had to send in the long form in order to change the citizenship to the one I wanted her to have.

Nope, and you could have it changed legally, if you wanted.  You can call yourself whatever you want as long as you pay your taxes!

yes one can change the name whenever want to...just have to file papers and pay a fee..along with changing all your other documents...social security card...drivers licsense and such... but in all honesty...when you love someone and get married ...that is supposed to be the grandest show of love there is...by taking your husbands name.  so dont be too upset if he disagrees with you on this... \n\nhell alot of us dont like our given names... but they were given to us for a reason...generation names...era names whatever....think of the poor souls that walk around like Dick Peters...or Buford or other odd names...but these people carry them ..why ...cuz they were chosen out of love.\n\nhope you make the right choice for you ...good luck

Who told you, you couldn't change it?  Get in contact with them.  It is a big deal.  They can amend it.  You have proof of identity, you just need to get in touch with the correct people.

You probably have to go to the court house. You birth certificate has your mothers last name. So thats the name you need to give them. They will prob be able to find it that way. Not with the last name you have now. I'd go to the court house and ask them what you need. I would take in your drivers liscense for ID and your soc security card. They will prob ask for them. Good luck!

I also apologize for the retarded racist that was the first to "answer" your question.\n\nThere is a legal way for you to become a US citizen, which is by naturalization.  I assume that you got your SSN when you were very young, so you have proof that you've been living here for some time now.  Just go to ins.gov, and you have a lot of information to choose from.  Good Luck, and ignore the ignorants that are only on yahoo to get points.\n\n\nThis is for      howthehellsh...\n\nIf you had any brains at all (doubt it) you would know that up until about 15 years ago, the Social Security Administration would give out Social Security Numbers to anyone who would apply.  Can you please look for info before you open your big mouth and look like and @SS?

There is no "automatic" way to become a US Citizen unless you are 1) born in the country, or 2) born of US Citizens.\n\nEven adoptive parents have to apply for US citizenship for their children.

Nope. Titles like that, unless they appear on the Birth Certificate, need no legal changes.  The same goes for lawyers who put Esquire after their names.

If your living in Great Britain then go to your local city hall or any half decent solicitor and tell them you want to change your name via 'deed poll'\nonce this is done you will get a new certificate that states you are this new person and that you will be registered as that person not the old one.\n\nIf you live elsewhere then I dont have a clue

.   Order extra certified copies of your marriage certificate for agencies that require originals before allowing you to change your name on documents, such as the department of motor vehicles.  \n  \n2.   If you're a man changing your name at marriage, check your marriage certificate to see if there is a space to indicate a name change. If not, you will need court papers to legally change your name. Contact a local attorney to find out the procedure for name changing in your state. (This is not necessary for women.)  \n  \n3.   Request a new Social Security card or cards reflecting the name change. Call the Social Security Administration at (800) 772-1213 to obtain forms and instructions.  \n  \n4.   Make an appointment to visit the department of motor vehicles for a new driver's license. Ask in advance which documents you'll need to bring in order to certify the validity of your name change.  \n  \n5.   Obtain and complete a Passport Amendment/Validation Application. Send this along with appropriate fees, your current passport(s), and a certified documentation of your name change (such as a certified copy of a marriage certificate or court papers) to the nearest passport agency.  \n  \n6.   Order replacements for checks, business cards, credit cards and other documents that contain your old name.  \n  \n7.   Call employers and schools (if you are a student) to let them know your new name, and ask them to change it in their records.  \n  \n8.   Change your name on your car registration, with your insurance and mortgage companies, and with your frequent-flier program.  \n  \n9.   Contact the post office, utility companies and registrar of voters.  \n  \n10.   Make the announcement to friends and family (ideally to your in-laws first), using stationery or thank-you cards with your new name printed on them, or order name-change cards designed for such an occasion.

As of February 27, 2001 you were already 19 or at least 18, right?  So, you can't apply for a citizenship certificate on your own name based on you mother citizenship, because you would need to be under 18 as of Feb 27/01.  You need to apply for citizenship using form N-400. \n\nRegarding your green card, I think you should have replaced it when you turned 14.  \n\nThe best thing you can do is go to your local immigration office and ask them for advice.
