Hey Joe, Yes you can add your last name to your daughter's bc. That is exactly what we did and as you know we were not married yet either. Your fiance's last name will become your daughter's middle name on the bc. That's the way they do it in the PI. Don't worry if you want to change her middle name you can do that when you guys get to the States. That's what we are going to do to. Hope everything else is going ok. Have a great 4th buddy. Mike

You may also want to think about (CRBA) and dual citizenship for your baby to be!

Not necessarily true all the time. Due to several changes in the provisions of the Family and Civil Codes of the Philippines, the application of the law has been inconsistent. I have a niece who was not allowed to use my brother's surname because she was born out of wedlock, but she was subsequently legitimated after the parents married. Chapter 3, Article 176 of Family Code of the Philippines is clear on this:

Chapter 3. Illegitimate Children

Art. 176. Illegitimate children shall use the surname and shall be under the parental authority of their mother, and shall be entitled to support in conformity with this Code. The legitime of each illegitimate child shall consist of one-half of the legitime of a legitimate child. Except for this modification, all other provisions in the Civil Code governing successional rights shall remain in force. (287a) 


To the OP, since your child will be illegitimate at time of birth, be prepared to be challenged if you encounter a Civil Registrar who is up-to-date with the current law.

'jab1976' I just came back from doing just that last week...and of course there to see my fiancee and our daughter.If you are going to be there for the birth it should be no problem, because it was 6 months after Gabrielle was born and we had no problem giving her my last name on the birth certificate. I am not saying that 'Pinay Wife' is not correct because you will not know until you get there. But just letting you know it can be done because I just did it!

Good luck with everything ,Ray

Nice work! Pinay Wife....

To the OP you may incounter a challenge as well at the US Embassy in Manila for your CRBA make sure your documents are 100% if not you will be ask to submit DNA Testing for you and the child, and it's not cheap.
