I've received different information about adding a middle name to the CoC. Yes, you certainly can, but it costs $220.

The lady at the US Passport office said that we can just staple the court ordered name change to the original CoC, and it will be fine. That doesn't seem too official to me. Then she said that since the new US Passport has her full name, that's good as gold. I also doubt that, since Passports have expiration dates.

So... we're going to pay $220 and get one, accurate, clear document. If my daughter wants to adopt, join the military, or something else important one day, I don't want her to run into paperwork troubles.
