What do you need to get your passport name change?

Get your new passport now
You’ll be able to upload all of these documents quickly and easily from your HelloGov account and get them checked and verified by your personal AI assistant.

Government Fee

You’ll need to pay a government fee to apply for your passport, which varies by the type of application and services requested. (HelloGov calculates your fees and shows you how to write a check that gets accepted first-time.)

Passport application (DS-82)

You’ll need to submit the DS-82 form if you're applying for a name change. This form is for anyone whose current passport is undamaged and was issued when they were 16 or older. (HelloGov guides you in filling out and submitting your DS-82 form smoothly.)

Passport photo

You'll need a recent passport photo that meets guidelines for size, background, and quality to ensure your identification. (HelloGov helps check your photo against the requirements before you upload it.)

Current passport

You’ll need to submit your current passport to apply for a name change as it’s proof of your identity and previous passport status. (We’ll guide you through the process of sending your passport with your application.)

Proof of travel

To apply for an expedited service, you’ll need to provide proof of imminent travel, such as an airline ticket or a travel itinerary. (Get help attaching your travel documents or creating an itinerary to expedite your application with HelloGov.)

Proof of name change

If you’ve changed your name since your last passport was issued, legal documents like a marriage certificate or court order are required. (Access guidance on how to include your name change documents with your application from HelloGov.)
