Changes of Name
If you have changed your name, you may apply to have this change reflected in your passport. Please note that as of September 26, 2005, U.S. passports will no longer be amended to change items appearing on the data page.
If the change is within one year after issuance, submit a U.S. Passport Re-Application Form (DS 5504), together with the passport that needs the change, your original marriage certificate or court order documenting the change, and new passport pictures. There will be no charge for routine processing.
If the passport was issued more than 12 months ago, you should follow the instructions for routine passport renewal. All regular fees will apply.
