    Thanks for this. Where do I put as my name change location? The place listed on my marriage certificate, which is where I lived when I got married, or the place I got married, or the place where the SS office is that I actually changed my name?

    When the application asks for location of name change. Is it where I got married (my marriage license reflects that) or is it the town that I legally changed my name with social security?

    It says over 1 year is $110 but website is showing free. I’m so confused. Mine is over 1year and 2 months over since it was issued.

    This is a very useful video! I would like to know if I want to change my first name (remove the last 2 letters) on the passport, do I still fill out the DS 82 form?

    Hello. I just applied for my passport and I noticed I did not include my middle name on the application. Is it possible to add my middle name while my application is still pending? I cannot find any information anywhere about this.

      No, As long as the name itself matches; for example -- Court Document is Matthew and on passport MATTHEW, then no change is needed

    For the correction of the passport do we have to make an appointment at the usps or can we just mail it with the money order and documents ? Thxs

      @MatthewsTravelsandTips  2 роки тому

      Hello,
      The correction can be done by simply mailing the documents to the agency with your check, as well as a form of proof to show the error such as a birth certificate. I would also recommend including a short handwritten letter noting the error and the change that needs to be made

      You will need to push forward with the name change as shown in the video. When filling out the DS-82 application, enter the information showing the correct format of your name and include proof of the name in the format on a birth certificate, marriage certificate or legal name change document and also include a written statement explaining the need for the name change

      If your passport was issued less than a year ago you will need a DS-5504 and the fee would be $60 to have that expedited. If it was over a year ago you will need a DS-82 and the fee would be $170

      Hi,
      In order to personally drop your documents for processing, you will need to make an appointment and have a travel date within 72 hours.
      If there is no need for expediting the Passport, you will need to ship it there.

    If my divorce decree was issued before I became a citizen and I forgot my divorce decree on the day of neutralization. Therefore my first passport was issued with my birth name. Will my divorce decree still be acceptable? All my documents, bank accounts and properties are in the name with my divorce decree, and that name has been used since I was a child, at school and work.

    I became a us citizen back in 2011 and changed my name so i received my certificate with my new name. This years i changed my name back to my original my question is i want to apply for a passport using my current original name but with out changing my certificate's name since it has the other name and in the future replace my certificate with my original name. Im not sure if you understand me but i want to know if that is possible because replacing a certificate takes longer and i need to travel outside the country for emergency purposes.

    if you change completely (not just the last name for marriage) .. if your old passport is expired with your old name do you still need to pick “re new passport” or is it easier to go with “new passport” all together?
