Why can't I have more than one last name in my American passport?

Because that is the rule that the government applied.

You can change your last name but you have to do so in a legal manner.  It will cost you.  Contact a lawyer.

are they usually on their upper arm?  if so then it's probably immunizations you have to get before you go into a different passport.  my dad was in the air force and spent alot of time in korea and he has the same markings.  what they do is have one big gun type thing that gives you all the shots at once so it will speed up things and it's easier to do than one at a time.

Do you mean fist and last name and no middle name? That's OK, but if you mean two cards with each a different name and the same number, call your social security office and try to work it out on the phone.

Actually when I got married the first time I kept my name and added my new husbands. Therefore I actually had 2 last names. My husband didn't like it that much, but as I told him, at least I took his name, but I will never lose who I was before the wedding. I would never take on a name for the reason to make one happy. Only reason to take the name is if you really want that to be your last name.

yes you can get a us passport...im living proof of one.  i was born in thailand--due to the fact that my father was in the us army at the time.  so i was already a us citizen and holding a us passport.

i don't know why we have middle names, but you parents decide that, i know people with 4 names(2 middles) u don't need one but if u want one go to the courthouse or where ever u go to get your name changed.

So long as you are not doing so for a criminal purpose, you can use any name you want. The name you choose to use will not be recognized by any government agency unless you go to court and get a court order officially changing your name.\n\nIn other words, you cannot get a driver's license or ss card without supporting documentation.\n\nA name used that is not on your birth certificate, or your "legal" name, is called an alias.

There are many ways to end up with two citizenships or more.  For example, a child born in the US of two non-US citizens is automatically a US citizen, but will probably also be able to derive citizenship from one or both parents, as well.  I know a man who has four citizenships:  Russian (by birth), Italian (from his father), Swedish (from his mother) and Canadian (by immigration).\n\nUS law neither allows nor forbids dual citizenship.

It depends. I go by my middle name, which is Mandy. On paperwork, I am known by my first name, Wenona. Don't get me wrong I do not favor one name more than the other. Used to go by Wenona but am shy and got embarrassed when people would apologize like crazy if they mis-pronounced so I decided it would be easier to go by my middle name.

You can legally do that. But it may upset your husband. If it is too long, you can just kept your name as is...Just start signing your name to documents with a shorter name. I use to work in customer service for years, people used credit cards with had their nickname on them. Although they didn't legally change their name.\n\nI use my middle name with my first name all the time. On your license they can use a middle initial instead of the whole name. Their are ways around the long name, without the hassle of legal fees/procedure and upsetting your husband.

Because there are so many people with the same first and last name. You can better identify a peson with their full name and date of birth.

you need to be a U.S. citizen to get a U.S. passport.

Yes, you can but you need to apply for the new one first. It takes a couple of weeks to get the new one but you may use the old one together with the new issue slip given to you.  Just tell them where to send the new passport. I was abroad and used my old passport till my new one was ready.

yes one can change the name whenever want to...just have to file papers and pay a fee..along with changing all your other documents...social security card...drivers licsense and such... but in all honesty...when you love someone and get married ...that is supposed to be the grandest show of love there is...by taking your husbands name.  so dont be too upset if he disagrees with you on this... \n\nhell alot of us dont like our given names... but they were given to us for a reason...generation names...era names whatever....think of the poor souls that walk around like Dick Peters...or Buford or other odd names...but these people carry them ..why ...cuz they were chosen out of love.\n\nhope you make the right choice for you ...good luck

You don't say whether you became a British citizen, but as far as the birth certificate goes, you can always request a duplicate from the state where you were born. I don't know what's involved in that, but it's possible. My own is a duplicate (my parents got it for me, so I'm unclear on the details).\n\nAs far as all the ID/passport stuff goes, it can't hurt to contact the US embassy or consulate. This is their area of expertise, so just ask them for their help and they'll give you the right info.\n\nGood luck!

Countries don't "participate" in dual citizenships. Countries allows its citizens to hold two different passports. Say you are from country X, and you go to country Y. Country X allows dual citizenship while country Y doesn't. You, who is an country X citizen, will be able to hold both X and Y citizenship b/c your country of origin allows for dual citizenships, even if the new country doesn't allow duals, or recognise country X.\n\nGovernment of India decided to grant Overseas Citizenship of India (OCI) which most people mistakenly refer as 'dual citizenship'.
