The name doesnt matter, the important part is that you are free to marry.

When I renewed mine a couple of years ago, they sent the original back with a hole through it or something. If you are using the entry/exit stamps as proof, you can photocopy all the pages and send in. Keep in mind, I have read numerous news reports that passport processing is affected by the government shut-down, so find out for sure before you send it in.

You can send a letter in your packet which explains your name change situation. You should include photocopies of your passport and the passport stamps as part of your proof of relationship. Is your passport going to expire soon? If yes, I would process the new one with maiden name. Otherwise, the early request of a passport doesn't seem necessary.

Best wishes!
