Deed poll: changing my last name to husband's surname

[Terpe]

hi again, as promised. i have spoke to my friend and, YES, you just need to show your old passport with your CFO sticker on it, marriage certificate, you and your hubby's birth certificate,photos that's it! Good luck, guess you were able to sort it now!

How about if you have no CFO sticker?

I think it's impossible for anyone married to a foreigner to not have a CFO sticker as it's needed before they leave Philippines.

Yes, I agree IF you are leaving the Philippines CFO sticker is a requirement.

I question the validity of CFO as a requirement for passport renewal or when changing the name in the passport to your married name.

BTW, my wife does not have CFO sticker, many of our friends also do not have CFO sticker.

We attended more that 6 Filipina weddings during the past 12 months where there also will be no CFO sticker.

So how come the Philippine Embassy in London requires one in order to change to a married name?
Or is it not a requirement.?
