the man reason to change your name is to be able to use it in legal documents anyways
a majority next to all name changes are just for the last name anyways
Yeah i just didnt realize form a security/privacy point of view, its about the most useless thing you could do
i mean, i think you could seal it in court but it will still show up that you changed it i belive.... i could be wrong tho
if you had a criminal history... you know im not sure how that works but i think all the past gets transferred to the new name
I got the sealed record thing. The courts did it right, but the complete incompetence of USCIS has caused issues because i need a new certificate of citizenship, but to get a cert name change can take upwards of a year to 18 months. So you're using both names in that time, with some half assed tape to glue it all together.
