Recently Married - Passport Changes

[dei6360]

Hi,

 

My husband (of 7 months! :p ) and I are going on a cruise next month. My passport has my maiden name, so I sent it in to get updated. Only thing is, name updates are apparently typed small in the back of the book :confused: -- not where my picture and other ID info is. Do you think I will run into problems? Am I just beig paranoid? :) Should I take my marriage certificate and birth certificate around, too? ( I was hoping to avoid that...) I appreciate your thoughts!

:) Jenny

My wife and I had similar questions regarding this issue after she got her name changed on her passport. We never ran into a problem and have sailed twice since the change. Typically they just flip to the back of the passport, find the change, and you're on your way.

Thanks - did you bring everything else just in case?

I too have a name change addendum to my Passport and have never needed any additional paperwork. The sad thing is there have been many times that no one has even looked at the changed information in the back :o

Thanks- that is kind of sad...

I had my passport amended when I got married. Never had a problem and didn't need any extra paperwork.
