To change your Name on your Passport, we will help you get started in the right direction. Don't be overwhelmed. We are here to assist you each step of the way.
First, you will
need to complete one government form called the DS-82 as well as the
LOA Form (which stands for Letter Of Authorization... it authorizes us to process your passport paperwork).
Then download and complete the Universal Passports & Visas Order Form with your payment information and fax it to: (214) 739-3414.

| Complete, download & print the DS-82 Form. |
Here is the link: http://travel.state.gov/passport/forms/ds82/ds82_843.html. This form must be completed online, printed and then signed. |
|
| Complete our LOA (Letter Of Authorization). |
The Letter Of Authorization simply enables us to act in the capacity necessary to resolve and answer any problems that may arise, to submit your passport application and to pick up your passport (and any related documents) when it has been issued by the Passport Agency. Get LOA here.IMPORTANT: Must print and complete 2 copies of the LOA. |
|
| We need your existing Passport. |
|
It must be signed. |
|
| We need 2 passport photographs. |
|
Must be recent, identical and 2x2 inches. |
|
| We need a copy of your travel itinerary. |
|
A copy of either your airline ticket(s) or flight itinerary will serve as the required proof regarding your departure date. |
|
| We need an original document stating why your name has changed. |
|
Such as: a marriage certificate, divorce decree, adoption papers or Court Order. The name that you want to have on your passport needs to be reflected in the documents stating your name change. All these documents will be returned with your passport. |
|
|
We need your $170 payment to the U.S. Dept. of State.
|
|
These is the government fee. Your payment to Universal Passports & Visas is for
the expediting of your passport processing, but the Federal Government still requires
their standard fees for a passport name change. Government fees are payable with a credit card or by check.
NOTE: If paying by check, please indicate your Date of Birth in the memo field.
