Hello everyone!
So I have finally completed my name change with every government office except for the Passport Agency. I have the paperwork, am getting my picture taken today, and dropping everything in the mail this afternoon! However, I just realized something and it's made me worried there will be issues submitting the change but I can't let that happen because I NEED my updated passport by August 9th. Here's the problem: went to write a check for the fee, and realized my check information is all wrong! My maiden name and old address are still on the checks! Obviously the passport agency will be able to see that the maiden name is correct and everything, but I'm just worried they won't deposit/cash (whatever they do with my money) if the names don't match. I've read things that say sign with the name on your ACCOUNT, not the name on the check, but my account is already changed to my married name which doesn't match the checks! Any advice on how to deal with this? Thank you!
