What happens if i don't answer the marital status section on a passport application?

Question

I am currently going thru a divorce that won't be final for about 2 months or so but I am going on a trip to a foreign country in 3 weeks and don't want to put that I am married on the passport because in a few months that will be false and I'll have to pay to get an updated one. BTW I've never had a passport before. Any thoughts?

Answer 1

wait until the divorce is final before you take the trip.

Then you can say truthfully that you are single.

if you still want to go now, then you must say you are either married or seperated.

Answer 2

You need to sign at the bottom that you are telling the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth, so you cannot skip questions.

Answer 3

Answer truthfully, not leaving anything blank.  Pay for the update when needed.
