Name change on passport

[S and S 12]

I have to change the name on my passport as all my IDs and credit cards are now with my husband's last name. I started to fill out the application and it requires I put the place of the name change. I don't know if I should put where I got married or the social security office or what. Please help for those of you who have done this before. Also, can I put the hyphen in my name since you know arab last names often have this?

You can put the hyphen but be sure that's the way your husband wants to transliterate his name-- just for consistency's sake.

Did you register your marriage with your state? If so, I would think that is the place of your name change. You got married overseas and they don't automatically change the name, so unless it's in your contract, i would say the name change took place over here. Marriage is a freebee name change for us girls (instead of paying to legally have it changed), so it somes with the registration of the marriage.

I have my name changed by the social security office and on my driver's license, but I didn't do anything with my state. This is why I'm lost as to what to do.

Then I'd say the SS office.

Here is the thing. I am doing the form DS-82 to request a new passport with my new name change. It wants the date of the name change and the location. I looked at another form where I could just amend my passport and it asks only for date of marriage and husband's full name. Unless you just legally changed your name and then it asks for location. I'm so confused, lol. I can't do the amendment because I have to just get a whole new passport for complicated reasons.

I decided to just put the city and state of my drivers license and where the SSN office is. Hopefully, that should be fine.

I think that is the way to go.

If I remember right, cause it's been 2 years ago, I did the SSN first, then drivers license, then sent a copy of both with my passport change. The SSN office is the one that sees your marriage license, at least for me, and once that is changed...... I believe I put the place of change as where I got married. But again, it was a while ago.

Safe bet

Thanks, that was my dilema, whether to put where I got married or where I changed my name in my documents here in the US. I only have just over a month so hopefully they will accept what I put. I am expiditing the passport just to be safe.

I'm sure they will accept it. I didn't have any problems with mine, sent it regular and got it within 4 weeks, I think. Expediting is a good idea! Good luck!!
