Want to change my maiden name to marriage name for citizenship

[prakxy]

Hello,

I got married 3 years back and came to Canada with my maiden name on passport and visa. With same name I applied for PR Card.SIM number,health card,driver's card etc..Now I want to apply for citizenship want to change it to after marriage name.

My questions are:

1. What is the procedure for that.
2. Which are the documents I need to change my name before applying for citizenship.
3. Can I keep both the names in all my documents.i.e maiden name/ after marriage name.
4. Do i need to change my son's documents also as he is born in canada and the mother name is maiden name.i.e Birth Certificate,Sim card,Passport etc.

Appreciate if someone help me in this as I am applying for citizenship next month.


Thanks
Prakxy

Hi Prakxy,
The answers to your questions are on the 'name change' section of the application instruction guide on the CIC website.
