Passport amendment here in the Phils is just PhP100. But then, DFA said that amendment means i would still be using my maiden name coz it will be the same passport im carrying. Its just that in one page, they are going to put there that im already married and i believe my new name. Its better they said that ill renew my passport if i want to use my married name. Passport renewal is just PhP500 for regular processing which is 1 week. PhP750 if we want it in 2-3 days. My passport expires on 2010, but Im going to renew mine before i will apply for a visa.
