i dont know why you ladies get this wrong :Erm:

my wife calls herself mrs mary cruz smith when her name is mrs mary simth,your maiden name isnt a second name and looks like a double surname.

you should have your daughters name on the passport in which she was given at birth.

Sometimes its really complicated isnt it? I would suggest phone them. In my case i use my surname when i was single as my middle name here:D:D:doh

James is using my husbands surname not mine in her passport but then again he was born here it makes thing easier for them to understand. Ohh next for John you know what im fed up with all this paper things:doh:Erm: nevermind it will end soon:D

Hope you will get it sorted.

Hi bornatbirth, nah we don't think our middle name is our second name coz we all know its our maiden surname :icon_lol: lol:D , but the problem is on our Birth certificate is our maiden name is our middle name, so when we go to other countries like this they mistake it for our second name :NoNo:

:rolleyes: i guess philippines needs to changed the BC to be applicable to other countries :icon_lol:

Hi,
I think they only need the recent british passport.
I'm from Caloocan and here in scotland now
My daughter is 4 now.
We didn't register her, we only applied a british passport for her.
We applied for her UK passport last month ... Sept
It was 3 weeks waiting some only takes 2 weeks

:xxgrinning--00xx3:
Good luck on your application

[Tiggers0608]

:Erm: Hi Ross, i forgot to ask you if your in the Phils or in UK now, coz I applied for my daughter's british passport here in UK.

:Erm: If your still in the phils you should go to the UK embassy to apply for your kids british passports and the requirements are different there than applying here in UK

Try checking the requirements of applying british passport for your kids on the UK embassy website for PH or try calling them.

Whats in a name ?

Its all very simple.

In UK one can change their name, for any reason they wish, thus one is not obliged to have any particular name in their passport.

I changed my first name and surname 30 years ago. I did it under Common Law. That meant all I had to do is say I had changed it. No legal paperwork at all, no fees.

When I next applied for a passport I submitted my birth cert, in my birth name (that can never be changed) and the person who countersigned my passport, in my case a police officer, merely added that he had known me for x years and that as of x/xx/1989 I had changed my name to John Carrington.

The new passport showed only that name.

Many years earlier when I married in UK, my wife had, all her life, been called Maura Tresa, which was different from her Birth cert. Mary Theresa. In the application for the marriage cert. I registered my wife in the name she was known by i.e. Maura Tresa. Her passport was subsequently applied for and issued in that name.

It is a common misunderstanding in UK that a woman must change her surname to that of her husband's on marriage. Again that is not so. Mary Brown can still be Mary Brown after she is marries Mr Green. Their children could Bill Brown and Lisa Green.

Incidentally in Spain a women does not and cannot Change her name on Marriage. Their children have the double surname, the first surname of her husband, the second the mothers' first surname thus,

Juan Dias Moreno marries Elena Gonzales Morales.
Their children surnames are Dias Gonzales.

Hi John et al,

It's Dave here living in Extremadura with my wife Cecille ...

On marriage my wife Cecille Padillo changed her name to Cecille Padillo Smith, my surname is Smith.

So our children would be callled Smith Padillo?

David Michael Smith (British) married to Cecille Padillo Smith (Filipina) have a daughter for example called Sarah Smith Padillo... Is this correct?

Dave and Cecille

[johncar54]

If you were Spanish nationals I guess that must be so, that you are not, then maybe some latitude would be allowed.

In Elaine's (my wife) case, she originally did not have my surname Carrington on her residencia nor Filipino passport, which had been issued before the marriage.

After arriving in Spain we went to the Philippines Consulate and they changed the name in her Filipino passport so that she had her maiden name Gonzales and my surname.

The new Residencia shows Gonzales Carrington as her surnames.

This is a quote from the interbet:-

"In Spain, the relevant rules are to be found essentially in Articles 108 and 109 of the Civil Code. The general and traditional rule is that each child born to a married couple bears a double surname, composed of the first element of the father’s surname followed by the first element of the mother’s surname. In 1999, Article 109 was amended to allow parents the possibility to choose, before the birth of their first child, to give all their children a surname comprising those same elements but in reverse order, so that the first element of the mother’s surname comes first."

Thus more usually the children would be called Smith Padillo

Yes they do, that's why Pendeen560, who lives on Spain, asked what happens in Spain.
