Name change and passport

I need to get a passport and I need to change my name on social security also. How long does it take to process name change because I need to apply for passport ASAP. I didn't want it to take a long time to process because honeymoon is in 3 months.

We don't have much experience in passport processing, but it seems like the two can be handled independently. In other words, there is no requirement to show a Social Security card to get a passport, and no requirement to show a passport to change the name on your Social Security card.

The following indicates Social Security will mail your card as soon as they have verified your documents. You should receive your card within 10 business days from the date on your receipt.
