I Ask this because i wanted to legally change my name a few years ago as well but i didnt know how to go about doing so. I inquire about it at the Mexican embassy here in my state and i was told that there was nothing they could do for me. They told me that in order for me to legally change my name i would have to go back to mexico and go through a LONG process to do so.

Were you able to change it here in the states? Do you mind sharing your experience with me? thanks in advance.
Don't go through your consulate. Every state has different guidelines but just do a quick search "Alaska (or the state you reside in) state name change" and you should get results. Process took about 3 weeks. Once you receive the change of name decree, you can then use that to change your SSN and DL/ID as well.
