- You need to go to the Social Security Administration (SSA) local office and update your citizenship info. Wait for about 2-3 weeks after the oath ceremony to do this. You can go there either with your naturalization certificate or your US passport. In my case, I first got my passport via routine service in 4 weeks, and then went to the SSA office.

- Update of driver's license is state-dependent. So you need to check this with your DMV. In my state I did not have to do an update. Your state might be handling this differently.

- Register to vote so that you can vote during this year's presidential election. It is your right as a US citizen to vote now.

- I also updated my I-9 with my employer basically letting HR know that you are a US citizen now.

- I am/was not a citizen of India, so cannot comment on your last question.

About your last question.

--> Once you get your US passport, you will have 3 options, get a visitor visa (10 Year multiple entry) for India (OR) PIO Card (OR) OCI card. You can read up on PIO Vs OCI and decide which is best for you.

--> All 3 services are now handled by Travisa Outsourcing.

--> Renunciation of the Indian Citizenship is handled as part of the 3 processes mentioned above. Once completed you will get a 'Renunciation Certificate'.
