This is for the state of Massachusetts, where I go to college.

I am already a naturalized citizen, and want to change the spelling of my last name so it's easier for people to pronounce.

The form asks that I file a petition form, birth certificate, and filing fee.

1.) However, I changed my first name DURING naturalization, do I need to send in a separate form?

2.) Do I need to publish my name change in a newspaper or anything? I have no criminal records or anything. When I used to live in Maryland, my petition got rejected because I did not circulate my request in a newspaper. Is Massachusetts rules on name change less complicated?

3.) Do I go to the family probation court or a court for immigration law?

Thanks alot!
