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

[raynaputi]

I think they are doing that now, probably because it is a requirement now in the Philippines (CFO certificate for Filipinos who want to renew or get passport and use the name of their foreigner spouse).. that's what I'm thinking..

I don't believe it's a requirement.

From DFA Philippines website http://www.dfa.gov.ph/index.php/cons...sport/passport

For spouse of foreign national:

- Marriage Contract (MC) in Security Paper (SECPA) issued by the National Statistics Office (NSO) or Certified True Copy (CTC) of MC issued by the Local Civil Registrar (LCR) and duly authenticated by NSO. Transcribed Marriage Contract from the LCR is required when entries in NSO Marriage Contract are blurred or unreadable.
- Report of Marriage duly authenticated by NSO if married abroad
- Original and photocopy of Commission of Filipino Overseas (CFO) Guidance and Counseling Certificate of Attendance (required for first time applicants or renewal of passport to be used for the first time the surname of the husband)

Probably Philippine Embassy in London is following this rule now
