Hello,
I am French and my wife is American US citizen. We got married in France with French marriage certificate, and so far we did not accomplish any admninistrative task in the US administration.

My wife needs to renew her passport and have her married showing in the new one.
Is it possible? How should we proceed?

Thanks in advance for your help!
