Sorry, I know that's probably not what you want to hear. :( At this point, you can either make an appointment at a Regional Passport Agency office (here's a list: http://travel.state.gov/passport/npic/agencies/agencies_913.html )or of course we'd be glad to help you if you'll give us a call.

She has her passport that she received with her maiden name, and she has not had it changed to her married name. We are flying to bahamas and flying back to Georgia (USA). Does she need to get a new passport or will her marriage certificate and passport with her maiden name suffice (married 3 years ago)? Thanks, Chris Alison,

Since you don't have your green card yet, I'd contact Customs and Border Protection. Here's a link to their contact info: http://www.getyouhome.gov/html/contact.html Hi Joe,

If you're traveling on a private boat as opposed to a cruise ship, you'd actually need a passport, passport card, NEXUS, SENTRI or FAST card or an Enhanced Driver's License, if your state offers them. A driver's license and birth certificate only works if you're on a cruise. To fly home, you would need a passport.
