How to Update Your Passport After a Name Change

Updating your passport is a critical next step if you’ve recently changed your name, whether due to marriage, divorce, or another reason. Updating your passport after a name change is similar to a passport renewal, with just one additional requirement: proof of your name being changed. This proof could be a marriage certificate, a divorce decree, or another legal document showing your new name.

Like a passport renewal, you must submit your current passport, fill out the appropriate form, and provide a new passport photo. Taking care of your passport early means you won’t encounter any issues when planning to travel. Waiting until the very last minute can lead to travel delays, especially during peak travel seasons. So, if your name has recently changed, prioritize keeping your passport travel-ready.
