Hi all!
We are getting married 9/25/21 and will be going to Mexico for our honeymoon. I do not have a passport, but am wondering when the best time to apply for one would be. I'm not sure if I should apply for one now and do a name change after the honeymoon (if I even can), or wait until after my name has been changed and then apply for my passport. For reference, I'm in Wisconsin.
I would like to go in October to the Baja Peninsula after the wedding which would mean applying for a passport soon. Would I be able to hold off on submitting everything to change my name until after our honeymoon or is that a no-no?
Our other option is choosing a different location in Mexico and going in February (we want to make sure it's warm there when we go). If we go that route, would that give me enough time to change my name on my license and social security card, and then apply for a passport?
Sorry if I sound dumb, I've just never traveled internationally before. Thanks in advance for your help!
