Legal Question in Immigration Law in New York

I passed my citizenship interview a few days ago. I remember signing my new name on the sides of my passport pictures during the interview. At the Oath ceremony, must I sign my new name or can I sign with my old signature? I was hoping to keep my old signature because I realized it's convenient due to the fact that all my of photo ID's have my old signature.

If you took a new legal name, it's safe to assume that you will be required to update all your photo ID documents, such as, driver license, passport, etc. Therefore, a signature should reflect your new legal name. I can't tell you here on the forum what signature to use, as I haven't seen your old signature and don't know your new and old names.
