There will come a time in a woman’s life when she has that magical day, meets and marries the man of her dreams and takes his last name. However, before she can go on that magical honeymoon to France, she may have to use expedited passport name change to have her passport reflect her new name. If this has to happen, it is good to know that just about everything can be handled through the mail and via the Internet.

In regards to passport applications, this may actually be one of the faster services that anyone will ever have to go for. For those of us that have had to go through the process of getting a passport for the first time, we know this to be a true blessing. Just head to the wonderful world of the Internet and all of the information that is needed will be right at your fingertips.

When expedited passport name change is needed, the applicant must provide proof of why the name has to be changed. For situations like marriage, divorce or adoption, the legal documentation will be more than enough to get the process moving. Keep in mind that everything must be original, but we recommend that the applicant make copies of everything for their own records before sending everything off.

Each of the websites will have a standard form to be filled out and the criteria regarding the existing passport must be met. The passports must be more than one year from their expiration date and if this is not met, it must be renewed before the name can be changed. Many of the websites provide the proper forms and services necessary to complete this without the need to navigate elsewhere.

If there is the need to get an expedited passport name change and there is no court document to prove that this actually happened, there is recourse. It requires that you are able to provide the agency with at least three public documents showing the date and place of birth along with exclusive use of the name. This situation may arise from lost divorce papers or the inability to retrieve an original copy of a marriage certificate.

These websites are all fee based services and as with many other forms of expeditions, the faster you want it, the more it will cost. They are, however, very reasonable and may be found to fit within most budgets. This is particularly helpful should time be short along with funds.

Many of the websites will also request color photos of you for the name change process. An expedited passport name change must be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that the correct person is doing the changing. These photos allow for one more form of proof to be provided to the issuing agency.

Once everything is gathered for the expedited passport name change, the final step is nothing more than putting everything in an envelope and mailing it off. We recommend that an overnight service be used to do this as it will provide more protection for the pasports documentation. Not only that, but the applicant will be provided with tracking information and will have the security of knowing exactly when their documentation was received and that the agency actually took possession of it.
