Misspelled Surname US Passport (REGIONAL OFFICE ERROR)?
Find answers to your legal question.

I applied, paid for (hefty fees), and received US passports for my under age daughter and myself in January 2007 due to a family emergency. She and I have the same surname.

I've used my passport twice to travel to the Caribbean (Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico) with no issues.

I did not notice until this month that my name is misspelled by 1 letter. (q instead of g). My daughter's is correct.

I am planning a trip to Europe (Netherlands with layover in Iceland) in 6 weeks. Will I encounter issues for departure or re-entry?

Could I make an appointment in a regional passport office to have it corrected within 2 weeks of my flight date? If so, HOW CAN I AVOID ANY ADDITIONAL CHARGES SINCE IT IS NOT MY ERROR?

Thanks in advance! (:

you need to get this taken care of ASAP, you will probably have to pay something as you have no proof that you didnt mispell your name on the forms you submited when you first got your passport. A sugestion in the future when dealing with the government take copies of all forms you fill out
