Which route applies to you
In order to change the name on your passport you must have an original court ordered name change, original marriage certificate or divorce decree.
You must renew your passport in order to change your name. If your passport was issued less than a year from the date of issue and you need your name changed or corrected, you will only need to pay the expedite fee to the U.S. State Department to have it corrected.
Issued more than a year ago and within the last 15 years, the change goes through as a renewal at the full government fee. Issued over 15 years ago, you file a new passport instead.
What the certified document has to be
An original or certified copy from the issuing authority, not a photocopy and not a scan. A commemorative marriage certificate from the ceremony will not be accepted.
For a divorce, the decree page showing the restored name is the one that matters. For an adoption or a court-ordered change, the signed order.
Sameday Passport & Visa Expedite Services returns your originals along with the new passport, so nothing you bring to Suite 108 is kept.
