So then I was given a pass on "Carmine" because my father was deceased already at the time I filed my application for recognition? Hmmm....ncaprio wrote:Okay... I am a moron!I just realized I am applying on my MOTHER'S SIDE... here's what the LA Consulate Website says...
"...from whom he/she is deriving citizenship..." is the most important part... I'm not deriving citizenship from my Father... (although I could - but it would be much more complicated).. so it's not an issue!IN ACCORDANCE TO ITALIAN LAW THE SON/DAUGHTER MAY NOT HAVE THE EXACT SAME FIRST NAME OF THE LIVING FATHER FROM WHOM HE/SHE DERIVES THE ITALIAN CITIZENSHIP. THE ITALIAN LAW DOES NOT ALLOW NUMERALS IN THE FIRST, MIDDLE OR LAST NAME. IF YOU HAVE IT YOU MUST AMEND THE CERTIFICATE IN THE COURT WHERE THE VITAL RECORD WAS ISSUED
Okay - now back to your regularly scheduled programing!
change... my.... Name?

Re: change... my.... Name?
No, I think you were given a pass on Carmine because that is your legal name. It's not illegal for a son to take his father's name in this country and, since in Italy it's the birth certificate that prevails, what's there is there. Probably drives them crazy though. 
Re: change... my.... Name?
Wow, that's an interesting find... I too am a Jr. but I am applying on my mother's side so I guess it wouldn't matter for me either.
