 Share

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

I would like to ask if it is okay to travel back to the Philippines for a vacation

even if my Philippine passport is not amended yet to my married name?

My passport will expire year 2012. Is there gonna be a problem with my

exit and entry back here in the USA or to and from the Philippines?

Can anyone with the same situation share their experience?

Your help and response on this matter will be highly appreciated. Thank

you so much.

Sincerely,

Marly

You need to go to the Philippine Counsulate that serves your area, and get a "One and the Same Person" affadavit. Or, you can do a report of marriage, and have your passport amended at the same place.

Bring your marriage certificate because they will ask you why your passport is not amended. The officer in Philippines asked me and in Japan then I explained and showed my marriage certificate.

I appreciate y'all's responses.

We will be leaving in October this year

and I already have my tickets (name printed

as what's in the passport).

Maybe I just have to get an Affidavit of Identity

because I am afraid the

process for the report of marriage and

passport amendment will take long.
