An applicant whose name has been changed by order or decree of a court should submit with his application a certified copy of such order or decree. An applicant who has changed his name by the adoption of a new name without formal court procedure, if he resides in a State where a formal court procedure is not necessary, should submit with his application the affidavits of two or more persons to the effect that he uses the new name exclusively, has used it exclusively for a stated period of time, and is known by such name in the community in which he resides. $ 51.20 Maiden name.

In the case of an applicant using a professional name, his passport will be written thus: “John Henry Jones (professionally known as Thomas Augustus Smith).” In the case of a married woman using her married name, and also her maiden name as a professional name, the passport will be written thus: “Mary Doe (professionally known as Mary Roe)," and an applicant's name in religion or an author's nom de plume will be similarly written. 1 The act of June 29, 1906, cited in the text of $ 51.15, was superseded by the Nationality Act of 1940 (54 Stat. 1140; 8 U.
