Urgent U.S. Passport Name Change FAQs

How do I change the name on my passport?

The process depends on your situation. If your passport was issued less than one year ago and your legal name change happened within that year, you generally use Form DS-5504. If more than one year has passed, you may use DS-82 if eligible, or DS-11 if not.

What documents do I need for a passport name change?

You typically need your most recent passport, the correct passport form, a passport photo, and an original or certified name change document such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order.

What if I cannot prove my name change with legal documents?

If you cannot document the change through a marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order, you generally must apply in person using Form DS-11. You may also need Form DS-60 in some cases.

Can a passport name change be expedited?

Yes. The State Department allows expedited service for eligible name change applications by mail, and urgent-travel options may be available depending on timing. Contact us at 1-833-TVP-VISA to learn about your options.

How much does a passport name change cost?

Travel Visa Pro’s passport name change fees start at $599 and go up to $1,299. Prices vary based on the processing time required. Government/consulate fees are additional and vary based on processing times.

What's the difference between applying through Travel Visa Pro and going directly to the state department?

When you apply through Travel Visa Pro, we review your documents for errors, handle submission on your behalf, and provide real-time tracking. Going direct means managing the entire process yourself with limited support if issues arise.
