How do I correct the biographical information in my passport?

You will need to fill out form DS-5504 (if the change is within one year of passport issuance) or form DS-82 (if the change is more than one year after passport issuance) and bring evidence that describes the details of a name change or other change. 

• If your name has changed you must submit a marriage certificate or court order showing the change of name. 
• If there is a change or an error in your recently issued passport you must submit the appropriate evidence showing the correct information (i.e. birth certificate or marriage certificate).
• All documents submitted for a name change or a data correct must bear the official seal of the issuing authority. Uncertified copies or notarized document cannot be accepted.
• The DS-5504 does not require a fee. If your circumstances warrant use of form DS-82, you will need to pay all applicable fees. The embassy will return your re-issued U.S. passport as well as any documentary evidence you submitted.
