How does a passport deal with name changes?

Long and semi-involved so here is the URL. FWIW, there is a separate way
to change your passport if you are transgendered.
http://travel.state.gov/passport/cor...geName_851.htm
l

I meant a name change through marriage.

That URL is the way to change your name following marriage OR legal name
change.
This is for marriage/court:
Your current, valid U.S. passport
Completed Form DS-82, Application for a U.S. Passport by Mail
Applicable "Renewal" fees
An original or certified copy of your marriage certificate or the
government-issued document evidencing your legal name change under
federal or state law.

One recent, color photograph.


If you can't find legal documentation:
You must submit the following in person at an Acceptance Facility or a
Passport Agency :

Your current, valid U.S. passport
A completed Form DS-11, Application for a U.S. Passport
Applicable "First Time" fees

At least 3 public records showing your
date and place of birth that show exclusive use of your assumed name for
at least 5 years

One recent, color photograph

So, in reality, there isn't any difference, just a different
bureaucrat that needs to appeasement.
