Rare sprint180 Posted November 28, 2022 #1 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Has anyone here recently changed their name and gotten a new passport? I was wondering how long it takes. My son is getting married and want to go on a cruise but are wondering if a passport would get back in time. Any help is appreciated. This will have to be the mail in thing as we do not have an office nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare LHT28 Posted November 28, 2022 #3 Share Posted November 28, 2022 Does he need a passport for the cruise ? Some closed looped cruises US citizens can just use their birth certificate & D.L How is the cruise booked ? married name ? Maybe just use current passport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also suggested she wait to change name until they were back if there is a question as there is only a small window of when they can go. Thanks for the suggestion Edited November 28, 2022 by sprint180 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the suggestion Is the cruise booked in her maiden name? Then yes just wait until they return if you can not get it changed in time 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ldubs Posted December 1, 2022 #9 Share Posted December 1, 2022 Keep in mind that when an application for a passport name change is made the old passport is no longer valid. If timing is a concern, booking and sailing under the current passport makes a lot of sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would also wait until after the cruise to change the name, or make sure that the cruise is booked for 2 months after the ceremony to allow ample time for processing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
