Name Change on Passport
Has your name legally changed through marriage, divorce, or a court order? If so, you will need to apply for a new passport with your new name. The process of getting your new document varies based on how long it has been since your current passport was issued.
If your passport was issued within the past year:
- You do not need to pay any passport processing fees to the US government, unless you need the new passport on an expedited basis.
- To get your name changed on your passport, you will need to gather these items:
- Current passport
- Passport photo
- Properly completed government form
- Original or certified name change document
If your passport was issued more than one year ago:
- You will need to apply for a renewed passport, and you will need to pay government processing fees.
- To get your renewed passport under your new name, you will need to gather these items:
- Current passport
- Passport photo
- Properly completed government form
- Original or certified name change document
- Government fees
