This community is so kind and helpful! I am going to try the route with the ds60 notarized document and apply for the passport. Thank you @StollyBolly for sending me in the affidavit direction. I can't find much discussion of the ds-60 form on the internet, but reading it looks like it is what I need since I can't locate any official court documents for the change. I will remember to update how it goes!

Was it something like this? https://eforms.state.gov/Forms/ds60.pdf

Oh thank you! So you just submitted this form with your passport application?

Thank you for the reply! The cruise is roundtrip in the US from CA and is in March 17

So I just received my birth certificate to apply for a passport, and have now been met with the news that my mother changed my last name sometime after my birth. The birth certificate does not match my social security or drivers license, and I do not have any official name change documents from my mom. She will be no help in this matter. Does anyone have any ideas for ways around this to either somehow get a new name change document or how to successfully take my cruise? Any help appreciated, really lost using google
