    아이의 이름(first name)이 영어식으로 발음하기 힘들뿐아이라 사운드가 이상해서 친구들로 부터 놀림을 받기도 해서 영어식 second name을 신청하려고 합니다. 경험 있는 분들 절차를 좀 가려켜 주시면 감사하겠습니다.

      I’ve done that before for my daughter.
      1. Send an application for a new passort to a nearest Korean Consulate ( You have to explain in a document why a new name is required, e.g. to avoid harassment, etc.)
      2. Receive a new passport with a new name
      3. Send a copy of the passport to INS to apply for a new greencard
      4. Send a copy of the passport to a Social Security Office to get a new social security card
      5. Call a school district office to ask for a name change

      This applies only to a minor. For an adult, I think the process may be more complicated due to some real estate issue, which I’m not sure about.
