Silly Passport Question

So certified copy of your marriage certificate or court order that your name has changed?

 So, I have to submit the real deal instead of a color copy of the original, correct? I'll get it back... eventually, right?

I've been sitting on it for awhile, and now that I need it for the summer, I wish I've done everything sooner-- no room for errors now. Thanks!

  • Yes original and yes you'll get it back.

    Everything should be sent via traceable mail, and I would go as far as pre-paying  for an express mail envelope to mail your documents back to you (most of the time the passport is transferred to a printing facility and mailed from there via priority mail while your important original documents are sent back to you via regular USPS mail from the office that processed the application). 

    If you choose to do that just stick a note on the pre-paid pre-addressed envelope that it is to be used to return your documents

    This. I had to do this in 2010 and didn't have any issues.

  • Yes, I did mine in 2010 and everything came back very quickly, I was surprised.  For what it's worth, if something did happen you can always get another certified copy from the courthouse - in VA I think it's five dollars for a replacement.
  • Thank you OP!  I completely forget to do this before May.  I just sent it today.  Thank you for the reminder!!!
