Dual Citizenship Name Clarification
Summary
To address a name discrepancy for dual citizenship in Croatia, your husband should verify Croatian name requirements and consider a formal name change in the U.S. If needed. If Bernal is not on U.S. Documents, his legal name is Armando Vidal Velasquez. To ensure clarity, he can file a name change petition to affirm this. The process involves filing a petition, attending a court hearing, and updating legal documents. This confirms the absence of Bernal in legal terms. Consult the Croatian embassy for specific guidance.Full Conversation
Yes, does he need to officially change name and if so, how does he put his name on the legal documents in the US? If his legal name in US is already Armando Vidal Velasquez is it really a name change?
When dealing with a name discrepancy for dual citizenship, here are some steps to consider in the U.S.:
- Legal Name Change: If he wants to include "Bernal" in the U.S., it may require a formal name change through the court system.
- Legal Documents: Update all legal documents (passport, social security, driver's license) after the name change.
- Court Process: File a petition for name change in the local court. Typically requires proof of identity and reason for change.
It's not a name change if he keeps using Armando Vidal Velasquez in the U.S., but adding "Bernal" officially would be.

he doesn't want to add Bernal, he wants to legally remove Bernal
To legally remove "Bernal" from his name in the U.S., your husband can follow these steps:
- Petition for Name Change: File a name change petition in your local court. This involves submitting forms and paying a fee.
- Court Hearing: Attend a court hearing where a judge reviews the request.
- Update Legal Documents: Once approved, update all legal documents, like passport and driver's license, with the new name.

I understand but is his name legally still Bernal even tough all US documents do not include Bernal?
Case Rating: *
In the U.S., a person's legal name is generally what appears on official documents like a passport, social security card, and driver's license. If "Bernal" is not listed on these documents, then his legal name in the U.S. does not include "Bernal." If he wishes to ensure "Bernal" is legally removed, he should consider a formal name change process to have legal clarity. Is there anything else you'd like to know about the name change process?

So during the formal name change process is he "changing" his name from Armando Vidal Velasquez to Armando Vidal Velasquez?
Case Rating: *
In a formal name change process, he would be legally affirming his name as Armando Vidal Velasquez, ensuring it matches all official documents. Since "Bernal" isn't included in U.S. documents, the process would clarify the absence of "Bernal" in legal terms. Do you need more guidance on this process?

my initial question is the following...in the name change petition is he saying his name is Armando Vidal Velasquez Bernal to Armando Vidal Velasquez or is he saying Armando Vidal Velasquez to Armando Vidal Velasquez since his legal name on all documents in US is currently Armando Vidal Velasquez.
Case Rating: *
In the name change petition, he is essentially affirming that his legal name is Armando Vidal Velasquez, without "Bernal." Since "Bernal" isn't part of his U.S. documents, the petition serves to clarify and legally confirm that "Bernal" is not included. Would you like more details about the process or court specifics?

So he is asking the court to change his name from Armando Vidal Velasquez to Armando Vidal Velasquez?

but the process is still completed through a name change petition, right?
Case Rating: *
Yes, the process is completed through a name change petition. Although it seems redundant, filing a petition legally confirms that "Bernal" is not part of his name. This ensures clarity in legal terms. If you have more questions about the court process, feel free to ask!
