Passport Question

I never changed my name on my passport, because I would have had to mail it to the US Embassy in Canada etc. and I was worried it would be tied up forever.

I just booked 2 flights to Canada to visit DH this summer and I'm thinking I should get my passport changed to avoid any headaches as all of my other IDs/credit cards etc. are in my married name. My only hang-up is how long it will take. For any of you ladies that have already done this, how quickly did you get back your passport?

I don't feel comfortable not having my passport in my possession (I assume I'll have to hand over my old passport) with DH out of the country. If he ever was seriously injured it may prevent me from being able to get to Canada. So if I were to apply for a new passport in the next few weeks, do you think I'd have it before he leaves in late May?

Re: Passport Question

  • Yes, I had my new passport in less than 2 weeks. If worse came to worse you can always go to a passport office and get a passport issued the same day. My aunt did this when she was leaving for a trip and didn't realize her passport had expired. However, I know there are some restrictions on who are eligible to go to a passport office and who are not to prevent everyone and their brother from going there to get an immediate passport.
  • Awesome, thank you for that info. I think I'll get it done in the next week or so.
