Passport Name Change- Help!

For those of you who have a passport and then requested a new one with your new name reflected...was the cost the same as if you were getting a brand new one?  I couldn't find this information online.  TIA!

I'm pretty sure it was less (or maybe didn't even cost anything??).  It was pretty quick and easy too.  I got my revised passport back within a few weeks.

If you apply within 1yr of getting married, there is no charge to change your name on your passport. If it's been over a yr, it's the same cost as renewing your passport.

its the same price which is why i'm going to just keep using my passport with my maiden name. just make sure you book all airfare with in your maiden name.

It is free if you have had your passport for less than a year (not been married less than a year). If you have had your passport for more than a year, it is $75.00. You do not have to pay the execution fee of $25.00 that you had to pay the very first time you got your passport.
