How does a dual citizen update his country of origin about a name change from the US?

hi, my friend is a dual citizen and wants to know how you change your name for the records back in your native country once you have court documents showing you did it in the USA.



(Italy, Greece, France, UK) ???How does a dual citizen update his country of origin about a name change from the US?makes sense to show your Embassy legal documents proving a name change by marriage, naturalization, court etc because in the end they still have to verify if they where made in that STATE or COUNTRY.



When your asked by any country to back up documents like Marriage, Birth Certificate etc you need to get a notarized letter with a stamp of some sort from the place they where certified, then your Embassy has to inspect it (lets say Italy for example), then translate it to their language so that a Judge can verify it official and pass a court order for your original documents to be updated, ACCEPT BIRTH CERTIFICATES, but they will do it even if Italian laws prohibit changing family name on documents for example.



So why not just visit a Embassy and ask
How does a dual citizen update his country of origin about a name change from the US?
you will need to go back to each country and fill in forms galore
