Often, yes. If your passport was issued within the last year, correcting a name or a State Department printing error is generally done with Form DS-5504 at no government passport fee. Outside that window, a name change is handled as a renewal (DS-82) with the normal fee. We confirm which applies before you pay anything.

If your passport was issued within the last year, you use this DS-5504 correction (usually no fee). If it's older, a name change is processed as a renewal with the name-change document. Either way we'll route you correctly — just tell us your dates and we'll confirm.

The legal document that shows the change — typically a certified marriage certificate, divorce decree, or court order. For a printing error, you don't need a name document; we note exactly what to flag. After you order, we review your specific documents with you.

With our fastest service, many customers receive their corrected passport in as little as 3 business days once their documents reach us. Timing depends on the processing speed you choose (3, 4, 6, 8, or 10 business days) and how quickly you mail in your paperwork.
