Great, thank you. I just didn't want to get stuck with an invalidated old passport and no new one due to long processing times for certificate and passport

visaforca, thank you! That is super helpful! Do you know if I can use my passport (with the old name) while I am waiting for the new citizenship certificate (which is required to get the passport with the new name)?
