Name Change on Passport

Caroline, on August 17, 2021 at 4:48 PM Posted in Married Life 0 5


I am changing my last name on my passport. What do I enter for place and date of name change (on form DS-82)? Do I enter the city I got married in or the city where I filed for a marriage license at? And is the date of name change the date I got married on? I am assuming this question on the application doesn't pertain to when I changed it legally through social security?

    I put the city I got married in, as that was where the license was submitted and the subsequent certificate was issued from. I also put the date I got married.

    I would do the city your marriage license is in and probably your wedding date.

    I literally just did this a month ago. I put the city I changed my name as in SS because that is when I officially changed my name. It wasn't official at the courthouse.

    I just did this a week ago. I went prepared with my marriage license and the person who helped me with it ask me if I had my drivers license with me in which I did and I had to show him it and he made a copy of it. I also had to put the city where I sent my marriage license to get registered and the dates that we got married along with my ssn.
