My Philippine passport is expired and would like to renew it (under married last name) but before I could do that, I have to file an ROM. However the bottom of the ROM form says " if the applicant is unable to apply in person, this form shall be notorazied.. And that part sort of made me wonder as to who the consulate refers to as the "applicant". Mailing takes a fews days and fees involved so I'd rather just stop by and pick it up when it is processed. LA consular office is just few minutes drive from our house.

My question is could I myself just submit the docs personally ? Since my husband is a US citizen the entire process has nothing to do with him really. I think that would suffice but then again, i'm not sure.

Any thoughts?

Go In Person.

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !

Going in person is a lot better since they will just take a look at the original copies of your birth and marriage certificates. They will only keep the photocopies.

** We met unexpectedly while I was traveling in the US, got married and filed for AOS **

Lucky you! We had to catch an outreach program for our area or it would have been a looooooong drive.

Ya being you are renewing your passport you have to go in person, doing the ROM at the same just makes things easier. Nope you don't need your husband along.
