1. My name is spelled wrong on my Naturalization application, how do I correct it? You may not be able to correct it. USCIS cannot make any changes to a name on a Certificate of Naturalization if you provided an incorrect name on your Form N-400 and signed your N400 during your Interview. The USCIS may only change your name on your Certificate of Naturalization if you changed your name after your naturalized.

It is imperative at the time of your N400 Interview that you double check the spelling of your name and your date of birth as they appear on the screen. It is also important to take a few moments once you receive your Naturalization Certificate at the N400 Oath Ceremony to thoroughly review it for accuracy, paying close attention to the spelling of your name and Date of birth. If there are any errors, you should speak with a USCIS representative then and there and not leave the building until the issue has been resolved.
