I came here looking for a list of original documents I need. Can you tell me which documents I require?
================
We'll need a proof of citizenship, for example.
Have you already established your child's U.S. citizenship with us?
No, I haven't.
Which documents could I use to prove my son's name change?
A court order approving the name change would be sufficient.
What if I am missing one of the required documents and can't replace them?
That depends. Do you have an employee identification card?
No, sorry.
Do you have a school identification card?
Yes, we do have one of those.
Then you'll only need a U.S. passport and that should be enough.
What if I don't have the old name of my child on any of those though?
In that case we may accept an unexpired identity document in your child's new name, as long as we can properly establish your child's identity in our records.
