I'm a USC and got married in June. My current passport has my maiden name and expires in 3 yrs. If I submit a name change for my passport, is the expiration date extended so it will expire in 10 yrs from when it's reissued or will it still have the current expiration date of my original passport? Does anyone have an anticipated time length for how long it takes to process the name change and have the updated passport sent to me if I don't pay for it to be expedited?

If you apply for a new passport based on a name change, it will have a 10-year validity.

The fastest you can get a passport is about 180 minutes, even though I got mine in 170, when visiting a passport agency.

Normal "expedited" time is currently about 2 weeks.

Normal snail time is anywhere between 18 days and 30-some days.

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.
