Passport Name Change After Marriage - How to Change The Name On Your US Passport

[@michelelara5982]

I was married 2011, got my passport 2012… kept maiden name until expiration. No issues, I wasn’t going to spend an extra fee to change the name.

What do I do if my Marriage certificate does not have my new married name on it?

[@iVisa_travel]

Hi Patricia, and welcome to the channel! As far as we understand, you can't change the name on a marriage certificate after it has been issued, and it cannot be changed by the County Clerk, but the laws may vary depending on the local authorities of the place where you got married. Once you are ready to renew, though, we will be happy to help you with this process here: bit.ly/3Vkkjbh!

I just got married at outside of the US and I have marriage certificate from Turkey. So Can I use it for changing name on passport?

[@iVisa_travel]

Hello @zeynepzeynep1960, Congratulations on your marriage! To change your name on your US passport after getting married abroad, you will need to follow a specific process. Using your marriage certificate from Turkey would be acceptable, but it's essential to include the original document or a certified copy of it. We recommend visiting the official website of the U.S. Department of State's Bureau of Consular Affairs or contacting the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate for detailed guidance on the specific documents and steps required for a name change on your passport. If you have any more questions, please feel free to reach out to us at travelwith.ivisa.com/3PdrzEH. We're here to help make your travel experiences as smooth as possible. Safe travels!

I got married 4 years ago, but didn't change my name on my passport. Now I'm getting divorced and reverting to my maiden name, the name on my current passport; however, it expires at the end of this month. What's the best way to handle this?

[@iVisa_travel]

If you didn’t change the name on your passport (and you’ll be using that name from now on) then you can go ahead and start your renewal process at your earliest convenience. More information here: www.ivisa.com/passport-renewal/united-states

I married but never changed the name on my passport. Now my passport is expired. I need to renew it and will now add my married name. Which do I do first, a renewal and then a change of name or change of name and then renewal? Do I fill out two forms?

[@iVisa_travel]

Hello @Mexicanita1904! To update both your passport's expiration and your name due to marriage, it's typically best to apply for a renewal and change of name at the same time. You'll need to fill out one application form and pay the appropriate fee. We can provide guidance on this process. Learn more on our website: travelwith.ivisa.com/47NLylQ. If you need any further assistance, don't hesitate to reach out. Safe travels and congratulations on your marriage!

[@iVisa_travel]

Hi Emmy! If you want to change your last name for your current one, you have to meet this requirements below: - Your current passport (the one that you have with your ex-husband’s last name) has a duration of 5-10 years. - You have to attach your divorce certificate and your current marriage certificate. However, rest assured! We would love to help you with this process. You can send us an email to [e-mail] to get personalized assistance.

Got my birth certificate corrected to only one last name, so now I have a name change. I didn't do any court order or anything like that. My passport will expired in 2 months. That passport has my first name and my two last names. What application should I do ? Apply to a new passport application (even though I had one before), or should I do a renewal application? I noticed on the renewal application it asks for a court order if there was a name change but I don't have one. Any advice?

[@iVisa_travel]

Hello @joce7469, In your situation, since your passport will expire in 2 months and you've corrected your birth certificate to have only one last name. If you want to change your name or other personal details on your passport, you need to send the standard passport application form with evidence about the change. You can apply online or by post. You also need to provide your most recent U.S. passport, the corrected birth certificate and any other required documentation. We recommend visiting the official website of the passport issuing authority in your country for specific guidance and requirements for a name change on your passport. Safe travels!

Thank you sweetheart 🙏🏼

[@LishaRose]

is it easier to change your name first then apply if it's your first one ?

[@iVisa_travel]

Yes, that is the correct procedure!

[@miriamentroliso2671]

Hi is it possible to get the updated passport back as quick as 2 or 3 weeks? I have a flight next month and my son-in-law put a married name on my ticket and I am still using my maiden on my passport and visa.

[@iVisa_travel]
