It is not neccessary to do change name on passport, not required

 

Seems like no reason to jump thru hoops for that, too easy to just get passport in maiden name once you decide to get dual citizenship from Philippines, you will find about that later in your journey.

Well you are in the wrong thread.

I like to educate people, for some reason the name change and ROM is pushed from the Philippines government, It is more of a money grab, just like paying extra for CFO and making Philippines citizens pay to exit the country.

 

I have seen the way the ROM information is worded and it's clear it real purpose.

Brides taking their husbands surname is a pretty widespread practice in multiple cultures and countries across the world.  It's hardly a Philippines government conspiracy.  I suspect that most filipina brides want to take their husband's surname and the few that don't want to, don't have to.  The Philippine Government charges $25 for the ROM and P950 for a new passport.  OTOH, the US Government charges $415 to change the name on a Green Card once it's been issued.  Which of the two government is the more financially predatory?

I'm dreading filing the ROM, just for the sheer volume of paperwork I have to send.  Original plus 4 copies...  just my divorce decree plus 4 copies is 270 pages.  By the time I add the rest of the originals plus 4 copies, I'll be well over 300 pages.
