I will be eligible to become a citizen in a few months and I would like to apply for the citizenship under my married name. In the Instruction Guide it says that I need to attach "a provincial legal change of name document". However, when I read instructions on changing your last name after getting married in my Province it just says that no official application is necessary, you just go ahead and use your new last name 0_0 Very confusing....Has anyone else had the same issue?

Would I be able to apply for citizenship under my maiden name and then get a passport under my married one?
