Abby,

We didn't amend her passport - but I would recommend that you do so - if you have time. For us, I was in the middle of buying a house - so some of my documents were with the solicitor and it became too hectic to get everything together in time.

I have heard that the Philippine Embassy are very hospitable and will change passports in a relatively small period of time.

I don't think many people do amend so it's not really an issue if you don't and unless you have lots of time I wouldn't risk it.

And if you have a machine readable passport the Embassy will not amend it anyway - you have to renew it instead.
