Who qualifies for a passport name change instead of a new application?
You qualify if you currently have your US passport in your possession, you legally changed your name since it was issued, the passport was issued within the past 15 years, and you were 16 or older when it was issued. If any of these do not apply, a first time or renewal application is required instead.

If less than one year has passed since your passport was issued, the government fee is $60.00. If more than one year has passed, the fee is $213.36, the same as a renewal. Sameday service fees are separate and depend on how fast you need it processed.
What documents do I need to change my name on my passport?
A certified copy of your marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order showing the name change, your current undamaged passport, and a completed DS-82 or DS-11 form depending on your eligibility. We take your new passport photo at our office.
