Name change questions?
Here’s what you need to know about our expedited passport services, government requirements, processing times, and other frequently asked questions.
What documents do I need to change my name on my passport?
You’ll need:
Your current passport.
A completed application form (DS-11 or DS-82).
Legal documentation of the name change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order).
A passport photo that meets the US Department of State’s requirements.
Payment for the applicable fees.
Can I use Form DS-82 to change my name on my passport?
You can use Form DS-82 (renewal by mail) if your current passport is undamaged, was issued within the last 15 years, and you were at least 16 years old when it was issued. Otherwise, you must use Form DS-11 and apply in person.
What if I’ve changed my name multiple times?
If you’ve changed your name multiple times, you must provide legal documentation for each name change. For example, if you changed your name due to marriage, divorce, and then another marriage, you’ll need to provide the marriage certificates and divorce decrees for each change.
Can I travel with my old passport while waiting for the name change?
No, once you apply for a name change, your old passport will be canceled and returned to you. You cannot use it for travel. If you have upcoming travel plans, consider expedited processing or wait until after your trip to apply.
Can I change my child’s name on their passport?
Yes, you can change a child’s name on their passport. You’ll need to submit legal documentation of the name change (e.g., court order) and apply in person using Form DS-11. Both parents or guardians must be present or provide notarized consent.
How do I change my name on my passport after marriage or divorce?
To change the name on your passport, you must submit a passport application (either Form DS-11 or Form DS-82, depending on how long ago your passport was issued) along with legal documentation of the name change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order).
