Smooth Passport Name Change

Changing your name on a U.S. passport can seem daunting, but it’s similar to renewing your passport. Whether you’ve had a name change due to marriage, divorce, or a legal name change, updating your passport is crucial in ensuring your international travel plans proceed without any hitches. Texas Tower can assist with a passport name change so that you can have your passport travel-ready quickly.

When applying for a passport name change, the critical requirement is to provide documented proof of your name change. This could be a marriage certificate, a divorce decree, or a court order. Apart from supplying this proof, the application is the same as a standard passport renewal. You must submit a DS-82 form if your current passport is less than a year old or a DS-5504 if it’s older, along with your most recent passport, a new passport photo, and the applicable fees.

It’s essential to consider the timing of your passport name change. If you have imminent travel plans, remember that processing times can vary. To avoid disruptions to your travel itinerary, managing this process well ahead of your scheduled departure is advisable. We can help those needing their passport updated sooner!
