For my sister.Name on Passport.?

My sister is married has been for 4 years but never changed her maidan name...She still goes by her maiden name. NEVER changed it on her ss, id, driver license, anything.She needs a passport. she was born and lives in houston tx. What all information and forms does she need proof of and can she still get a passport with her maidan name or does she have to change everything...she leaves to europe in Feb 2008. italy, spain, france.maybe greece she would appreciate your help.thanks

Answer:
If she uses her maiden name and that's what all her documentation states - that's the name that should be on her passport. She will need her birth certificate (CERTIFIED birth certificate) and she has to apply in person if she's never had a passport before.

She can download the application online:
http://travel.state.gov/passport/forms/f...

(A certified birth certificate has a registrar's raised, embossed, impressed or multicolored seal, registrar’s signature, and the date the certificate was filed with the registrar's office [bureau of vital statistics in Houston], which must be within 1 year of your birth. Please note that some short (abstract) versions of birth certificates may not be acceptable for passport purposes.)

She will have to use the name that is in her birth certificate or citizen certificate...If she wants her married name..she needs to start by going to the Social Security office with her marriage certificate and change her social, then the drivers licence and then she can go get her passport with her married name
