You don't need to renew your passport until 6 months to its expiration date, which is normally 5 years from when you applied for it. But you have the option to renew it in your married name [once you're married] through any PH consulate in US.

Civil wedding in US after POE, yes.

But civil wedding in PH before you leave for US, NO.

Most folks do a civil wedding too. It's very common in US, so nothing for you to worry about! :thumbs:

If you don't plan on using your married name in your future passport, then you should renew it now while in PH. It takes about 6 weeks (and >2x the price) to renew a passport with the PH consulates in the US. If you plan on using the married name, then I would follow what sweetcakes suggested and do it after.

You passport is almost new? At only 7 months old I don't see any reason to renew it as it has years of validity left.

Married is married, civil or church... do whichever you like. We did a civil wedding.

The requirement is the passport must have 6 months or more of validity.

b. PASSPORT. You must have a passport valid for at least six (6) months. If you do not have one, you
should apply in person at the Department of Foreign Affairs - Office of Consular Affairs (DFA-OCA),
Aseana Business Park, Bradco Avenue corner Macapagal Boulevard, Paranaque City
