In the United States, tampering with a Passport is a Federal Offence - a felony and it WILL get you jail time in this post-9/11 era. Any Customs Agent worth his salt will spot tampering and you will be detained. With US Passports you would almost have to destroy the passport in order to alter information since it is encased in laminate plastic, so in a sense, yes, ANYONE will be able to tell. A piece of advice: DON'T ALTER YOUR PASSPORT!!! In the US a Passport is the property of the US State Department, not the individual and it can be revoked at any time.

Your passport is equivalent to your ID card just on an international level. Issued by the government, it is your identification for when you travel and, more importantly, it is also proof of your citizenship. Just as you would go and change your name on your driver's license, credit cards, or other ID cards, you should also change your name on your passport. If your passport has over 1 year of validity and it is within one year of your date of name change, they will just add an amendment to the back of your current passport. The amendment is free of charge unless you require your passport back early. If it has been over one year since your name change you will have to renew your passport and pay all applicable fees. Required forms or any questions can be found in the link provided below.
