Passport name change question
« on: August 30, 2018, 02:09:32 PM »
Good morning everybody.. I just thought about something after reading some things earlier. When i send away to change my name on my passport, is it best to just send regular mail  or UPS...  I don't remember when getting my passport if I had to send return postage.. ??? ;)

It should say on the form if you need return postage.  You can send however you like.

Thank you, another question about the Passport Name change... i just read that before I can send my Passport renewal for a name change, i have to include a copy of my Drivers License showing my new name..i was thinking I didnt have to change my drivers license name till afterwards if i wanted.. Also it reads that in order to get my passport back within 2-3 weeks using the expedited service, i have to include flight itinerary or other proof of travel plans , without this expedited service it can take up to 8 weeks.  am i reading correctly

Are you looking at the travel.state.gov website?

It’s all there.  Look under “when do you need your passport?”

I called the help line and spoke with someone.. No, do not have to change DL # first.
so, that helps alot on the timeline of getting my app sent off around the middle of November.  :)

LOL my brains a bit exhausted lately.

I’m glad you’ve got it sorted. I just went a training program at work on stress, definitely find some way to try to unwind (easier said than done especially when going through all of this)

It’s Friday and five o clock somewhere ;) have a drink and enjoy the weekend if you can.
