Socrates makes it easy to update your name on your passport after you have completed a name change through common law, marriage, divorce, naturalization or court order.

You will need to have your new name reflected in all your records at government agencies and at business offices.

Use the Application for U.S. Passport (DS-11) to update your passport if:

• It has been more than 1 year since your passport was issued.
• You cannot submit documentation to reflect your name change such as a marriage certificate, divorce decree, certificate of name change issued by a court, etc.
