Per the law, US Federal courts can administer the oath of allegiance. However, there are certain courts that have waived this privilege and permit the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) to administer the oath of allegiance. If a court administers the oath of allegiance, it is called a judicial ceremony. Whereas, an oath administered by USCIS is called an administrative ceremony.
You will be subject to a judicial ceremony if you reside in a place that is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the court. Depending on where one lives, different applicants will have different types of ceremonies as USCIS field offices often service more than one state or more than one court district. For instance, the Washington Field Office services the District of Columbia and parts of Virginia as well. If you reside in DC, you will have a judicial ceremony, whereas, if you are from Virginia, you may have an administrative ceremony.
If you want to change your name while filing Form N-400, Application for Naturalization, you have to indicate it on your form. In this case you will have a judicial ceremony. Your name change has to be approved by a judge. So it is evident that your name change will be changed at a judicial ceremony. USCIS Offices that conduct administrative ceremonies may have same-day naturalization ceremonies. The field office web pages will have information about which offices have same-day ceremonies.
Also note that you might have a judicial ceremony even if you do not live in an area under the jurisdiction of the court if it is a special ceremony or if it is easier to schedule you for a judicial ceremony. Likewise, you might have an administrative ceremony in some cases if you are not changing your name and the court has waived its privilege to administer the oath or under special circumstances.
