Name Changes and other Ammendments
Effective September 26, 2005, as an additional security enhancement, we no longer amend valid passports. Instead, customers requesting name changes, extension of validity for limited passports or correction of a printing error will apply for replacement passports.
If the change is within one year after issuance , they will submit a U.S. Passport Re-Application Form (DS 5504) , together with the passport that needs the change, the documentation required, and new passport pictures. There will be no charge.
If the change is more than one year after issuance , customers will need to submit an application for a new passport and pay the normal fees. Of course, if the requested data change is due to a printing error by Passport Services there will be no charge.
To apply for name changes and other ammendments by mail please follow these instructions.
To apply for this service in person, you will need to make an appointment.
