==Procedure==
#Complete the application form and submit it to the Passport office in Guernsey. Application forms come with detailed guidance notes which explain what sections of the form to complete. There is also information about passport photographs on the application form which must meet internationally agreed standards.
#You will also need to submit your current or last passport and documentary evidence of your name change. If your appearance has not changed greatly since you obtained the passport you are submitting, you will not normally be required to obtain a counter signatory (a person who confirms that you are who you say you are)
#When you apply, your current passport will be cancelled and a new standard 10-year passport will be issued. The Passport Office will credit your new passport with extra time (up to a maximum of 9 months).
#If there are in your cancelled passport any unexpired visas of countries that you still wish to travel to, you will need to make enquiries with the relevant consular authority of the country concerned as to how the visa is affected.

==Required Documents==
*You will need to submit your existing passport together with documentary evidence of your name change. The type of document will depend on the process by which you changed your name. This will normally be by marriage or deed poll.

*If you have changed your name more than once the Passport Office may ask to see evidence of all changes of name.
