Here’s the copy that I was about to find on how to amend a Philippine passport:
AMENDMENT OF PASSPORT
- In addition to the requirements for Renewal of Passport, the following documentary requirements must be submitted by a female applicant wishing to change her maiden surname to her married name: For a marriage solemnized in the Philippines - submit the original/certified true copy and a photocopy of marriage certificate. b. For a marriage solemnized outside of the Philippines and celebrated within the jurisdiction of the Philippine Consulate General(i.e. in Southern California, Southern Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico and Texas), the following must be submitted: 1) original and photocopy of marriage certificate; 2) duly accomplished Consulate Report of Marriage Contracted Abroad form. (Note: Registration of Marriage requires the following: original copy of the marriage contract/certificate/license, passport photos of both parties, proof of citizenship of both parties, i.e. passports or birth certificates.
- For female applicants wishing to revert to the use of their maiden names: a. For widowed applicants - certified true copy and photocopy of death certificate of husband, or a court order of presumptive death. b. For annulled marriages - certified true copy and photocopy of annotated Marriage Contract or Certificate of Registration and certified true copy of Court Order. c. For divorced applicants (Allowed only in cases where the non-Filipino spouse acted as the plaintiff; and not allowed when both parties are Filipino citizens at the time of the divorce), submit the original copy of Divorce Decree. In all the foregoing cases, the female applicant must accomplish a Sworn Declaration to Revert to Maiden Surname. A sample form of this Affidavit can be downloaded in the Consular Services category.
The one that I highlighted is the category where I belong. I got married here in the States and so I need to follow the instruction on letter b.
