I need a new Ghana Passport after I got married in USA.

Looking at the Ghana Embassy, Washington, website, there's a notice that due to technical difficulties they're no longer issuing passports at that location since December 2015.

The notice is still on the front page as I type now.

But when I called the embassy and spoke with an operator, who sounded clueless, she said they're still taking applications for passport.

Does anybody know anything about Ghana embassy not issuing passports anymore or anything to that effect?

My current passport still has my old name before marriage and I need a new passport with my new name since I'm traveling in 2 months. Thanks.

If they are taking applications according to what you were told by the embassy. I would go ahead and apply for a new one. It can take weeks to get the new one back so I wouldn't waste much time since you will be leaving in two months.

I'm a bit worried though. if they're taking applications I wonder why their website still stays they're not issuing passports. I wonder if the operator had the wrong information.
