Does anyone know if there is a passport office you can go to in order to get your name changed instead of having to mail in your marriage certificate and having them send it back to you? I only have my original marriage certificate. I tried to get certified copies from the county clerk's office but it took 4 months to get a response back from them, only to tell me that there was a small grammatical error and they could not process my request. I am going away in a month and I don't have time to resubmit my request for a certified copy of my marriage certificate and I don't want to part with my original. Any suggestions?

Re: Passport Name Change Question
I know that there is a passport processing center in downtown manhattan, but you have to call to make an appointment first, cause they won't let you into the building otherwise. I'll try to find the # for you.

Re: Passport Name Change Question
unfortunately, you have to mail it in. I think the only time you can make an appointment to go in person, if you are in need of your passport within 14 days. And I think you have to show proof that you are traveling within those 14 days.
I had to mail my original certificate.

At the last resort, you can still use your passport with your maiden name as long as your plane tickets are the same as your passport.
