So, my fiance and I are planning a cruise for our honeymoon about a month after we get married (5/26/12).  If I change my name after the wedding to my new married name, what do I do about my passport which will have my maiden name on it.  I'm not sure how long the process it to get a new passport with my married name on it.  Has anyone else had this delimma  and how did you handle it?

    Ditto MilkDuds.
    Whoever said it was supposed to be happily ever after is a big fat liar.

    Thanks girls!  I guess that's what I'll do, I'll just change my name when I get home! :)

IT'S VOIDED AFTER YOU CHANGE THE NAME. A NEW ONE IS ISSUED. YOU SEND YOUR MAIDEN NAME PASSPORT IN WITH THE NEW NAME APP AND PICS (DID YOU READ THE INSTRUCTIONS-THIS IS ALL ON THE TSA WEBSITE) AND THEN THEY RETURN THE MAIDEN NAME WITH HOLES PUNCHED IN IT AND A NEW MARRIED NAME PASSPORT.

     I'm not sure how long the process it to get a new passport with my married name on it.  Has anyone else had this delimma  and how did you handle it? YOU DONT HAVE TIME TO GET ONE WITH YOUR NEW NAME ON IT AFTER THE WEDDING (AS YOU NEED TO SEND IT WITH YOUR OFFICIAL MARRIAGE CERT THAT YOU GET AFTER THE WEDDING-COULD BE A FEW DAYS OR A FEW WEEKS. SINCE YOU DONT KNOW HO W LONG IT WILL TAKE BOOK AND TRAVEL IN MAIDEN NAME AND CHANGE IT WHEN YOU GET BACK.
