Me too, you just send your old one in and they write in the back your new name and send it back, the whole process took about a month for me.

Re: Who changed their name on their passport?
Just as a note - I just did this (sidenote - can I just say how annoyed I was that I had to send that stuff in - they folded my marriage certificate which I had carefully placed in a large envelope with cardboard so it wouldn't get bent- and then all they did was stamp something on the back page ) Grr, but anyway, While in the process, I checked on that website and saw that it says they won't be doing the amending thing anymore. That people will basically have to do it as if they are renewing - and pay a fee if you do it more then a year since the marriage. Chaning name in passport
Now, I just did it last month and this site says that won't just amend after Sept 2005. I got concerned when I read this since I had already sent it in, so I called and they told me that they were 'finishing up' just the last ones that were submitted and then they would no longer be doing it. Like I said, I just did it and it went through, but I don't know how much longer they will do it that way.

Re: Who changed their name on their passport?
I was cheap and didn't want to pay the fee to get a new passport, so I used my maiden name on the passport and will get it changed before our next trip out of the country - and who knows when that will be lol

Re: Who changed their name on their passport?
I just figured I'd use my old passport and bring my marriage license along.
You can still do that, right? I couldn't find anything about it online...
