I've been trying to figure out how to add my married name to my Canadian passport and have been having the hardest time trying to figure out how to do it. I mean, I know how to do it, as I've researched it and found these instructions:

Married Surnames

To add a married surname to a valid passport that was issued in your surname at birth, submit:

* a signed letter requesting the addition of your married surname to your passport,

* your marriage certificate (a photocopy is accepted),

* your valid passport, and

* the fee of CAN$12

But my question is... WHERE do I bring it?? I'm in the states... and it doesn't give any information as to where I'm supposed to bring this info. Has anyone here done this? As I don't have advanced parole, I can't go to Canada and do it.. so I'm wondering if there's anything I can do from within the United States.

We mailed ours .. no problem, we just used a carrier that gave us tracking information... Got the passport back in about 3 weeks by FedEx
