For Legal Permanent Residents ( Green Card Holders) , you would have to go to your country's consulate or embassy to modify the name on your foreign passport after a legal name change order is issued in a New York Court . Please check with your country's consulate to see if your country will accept a New York name change order to change the name on your passport before you petition for a legal name change order in New York. Some countries like Brazil will not accept an order from the State of New York. But most countries will accept it.
