What To Do If You Need A Passport In A hurry
If you need a passport in a hurry, there are a few things to check first. Depending on where you are located, you may be able to pick up your new passport at your local post office or you may need to go through the Department of State. If you need it fast and cannot wait, the Department of State recommends applying for a passport online. You will need to provide some basic information such as your full name and date of birth, as well as pay the application fee.
How To Change Your Name On Your Passport
If you’ve changed your name legally, you can update your passport application and passport page by following these simple steps:
1. Check if you need a new passport. If your name has changed as a result of a court order or marriage, you will need to apply for a new passport. If you’re just changing your name on your own, not as a result of legal action, you do not need to apply for a new passport.
2. Fill out the online application form and mail it in. You’ll need to include proof of your name change, such as an affidavit or birth certificate. You can also submit documents with your online application if they are easier to access online.
3. Wait for the reactivation letter from the Department of State (DOS). This letter will tell you when to come in for your appointment at the Passport Agency. The letter will also contain instructions on what to bring with you to the appointment.
4. Go to the Passport Agency for your appointment and provide the reactivation letter and any accompanying documents. You’ll need to show proof of your identity, such as a driver’s license or passport photo ID card. You’ll also need to fill out an information sheet about yourself and pay the fees necessary for a new passport issuance ($60 for adult passports, $40 for children’s passports).

If you have recently undergone a name change, you may need to apply for a new passport. The cost of obtaining a new passport can vary depending on your nationality and the type of passport you are applying for.

Passports can be obtained in three different types: national, international, and diplomatic.
National passports are issued to citizens of countries who are members of the United Nations or have an agreement with the nation granting them citizenship. They usually have a design that corresponds with the country’s flag and contain pages for both English and the native language of the holder.
International passports are issued to citizens of countries who are not members of either United Nations or an agreement with the nation granting them citizenship but who do travel frequently outside their home country. These passports always feature a design that is unique to each country and contain pages for English and at least one other language.
Diplomatic passports are rarer than either international or national passports and are only issued to diplomats from certain countries. They always feature a unique design and contain pages only in English.
All three types of passports require applicants to provide proof of identity such as a driver’s license or certificate of birth date. The application fee ranges from $60-120 depending on the type of passport being applied for. After providing all required documents, applicants will need to take an oath confirming they will honor
