Hi,
I am planning to apply for my citizenship on April, although I am getting married in June, our plan is to hypen my fiancé's last name on mine. Do I have to submit a certificate of change of name? would it be okay for me to submit my application in April or Just wait after our wedding and after i change my last name? Thank you!

I would suggest that you get married , do the name change part and then only apply for citizenship. There are many who went to change name after sending their application and today waiting for months together since their case is non-routine.
You post a new thread with title Should I change name before or after sending Citizenship application. You will get response of all those in the forum who got stuck up.

Keep your maiden name for the citizenship process and change it when you are applying for your passport. That was the advice given to me by the immigration officer.
