Department of State / Passports / Visitor Visas FAQ


Question:

My name has been legally changed. How do I change my name on my passport?

Answer:

To change your name on your passport, you must complete Form DS-19, Passport Amendment/Validation Application, and submit it along with your current passport and the certified documentation of your name change (e.g., marriage certificate, divorce decreee with your new name). Forms and more information are available at the Department of State Passport Services Web site.
