Hi @Zayn

I am in the same situation and I asked this question when I took the Citizenship exam. The officer suggested we change the name after the certificate is issued, but before we apply for new passport. Basically, you will have two certificates - one with old name and one with new name. But for passport, since it is also more expensive to get, you just want to request for one passport with the new name already.

Hope that helps

 

Hi Cam326,

thanks for the detailed reply.

if CO shared this info with you,this means it is the correct process to follow.

Technically after cermony,wait for the certificate and proceed with change of name,once dont,request for citizenship certificate with new name,once received apply passport with second certificate with new name.

hope that make sense.

thanks

Hey Champs,

I am considering changing my given name officially, I was wondering if someone has gone through this process and can shed some light please.

Shall I change my name after cermony or before cermony, currnently my application is on approved status and awaiting cermony.

thanks

I am from wyndham council... still waiting for approval...

What was your test date ?

Not sure if anyone else here is in same boat.

had test 2nd week Feb 2021,status Received.

lodged FOI and today received reply,according to notes nothing is pending such as ospc not required is mentioned since date of test.

I have no idea what is causing delay when nothing is pending and what should I do next.

I am from VIC and its been 15 months since I submitted my citizenship application.

Can anyone else please advise as it seems that I will loose the job opportunity I am after since more then a year.

Hi!

I had my test on Feb 11th and am still waiting for approval - has anyone been waiting longer? I'm seeing that lots of people are approved on the same day or within a few! Realise there is no one to contact as I am still within processing times... Would be assigned to Wollongong council if anyone has had a similar experience  

Hi Emma, I had my test on 12th Feb and I know a guy who had his test in first week of Feb, both waiting approval.

fyi we are in VIC.

best of luck
