How much will my fees be for a passport book with my name change due to marriage?

Question: I need to mail in the forms, and other pertinent items for my name change on my passport book. How much will my fees be? My original passport book was issued May 15, 2009. Does it matter what photos are sent in for the picture?

Answer: There is no fee for a name change that is requested within one year of the passport's issuance date. Unfortunately, you just missed that by a couple of weeks.

Because it has been more than one year, you must submit the application for a passport renewal by mail. You can access a complete list of requirements by clicking the link below.
