I am a filipino married to an australian citizen.

I went to DFA yesterday to change my status from single to married. DFA person went and told me that i need to undergo seminar at CFO manila to renew a new one since i am married to foreign individual.

 

Do i need to bring my husband with me during the seminar? 

I have a 1 month old baby, do i need to make and appoinment online?

 

Thank you,

Aisa,

Thank you,

Aisa,

So you did CFO before you left to go to Australia and get married, and now you think you need to go because your married na? That's not true you don't need to go again because your married na.

Nope, husband won't be allowed at the seminar.

 

Don't bring the baby, let your hubby take care of the child

 

Yes you need to make an appt online.

She hasn't leave the Philippines yet, trying to get her passport renewed after marriage.  CFO GCP is required by DFA for renewing the passport in the married name

how long does the CFO appointment take??

How far how are the appointments at CFO?  Not sure, last I heard it was 2-3 weeks out.  Only way to find out for sure is simply go to the CFO website.

As for the seminar, half a day, CFO does morning and afternoon sessions.
