I WANT TO USE MY MARRIED NAME IN MY AUSSIE PASSPORT

poinsettia9poinsettia9 BrisbanePosts: 96Member
Eto po ang dillema. Mga isang taon na po kaming kinasal sa Pilipinas pero hindi ko ginamit yung married surname ko dito sa Australia nung PR pa lang ako. Nung nag-apply ako ng citizenship, ginamit ko pa rin maiden name ko para consistent sa nakapangalan sa mga IDs ko. In short, ang nakalagay sa citizenship certificate ko ngayon is my Maiden name.

Ngayon gusto ko ng mag apply ng Aussie passport using my husband's surname. E kaso sa mga nabasa ko, naka-specify dun na dapat yung name ko sa passport dapat katulad sa Citizenship certificate ko.

Pwede ko bang gamitin yung surname ng husband ko kahit hindi ko baguhin legally yung name ko?

    Hi. We also have the same concern but for our initial entry. My wife would like to use her married name but we applied for our visa using her maiden name since her passport and documents are still on her maiden name. We appreciate if someone could share on how she could start using her married name even if her visa (soon to be granted) is on her maiden name.

    @OZwaldCobblepot Hi, I called passport office yesterday. Sinabi sakin na kelangan kong mag apply ng Change of Name Application kung gusto kong gamitin name ng hubby ko sa passport. Pero kinonfirm din nya na pag ibang mga IDs pwede ko naman daw gamitin yung married name ko as long as my evidence na married ako. Pero pag sa passport daw kelangan talaga maiden name ko gamitin unless papabaguhin ko legally yung name ko.

    Oh well...

    @Lizzie Hi thanks for the reply. Nabasa ko din yan. Ang concern ko kasi pag nag change of name ako sa ganyang paraan, hindi ba parang mababago totally yung identity ko?

    Ang gusto ko lang naman kasi ma recognize lang ng Australian government na married na ako. Yung tipong hindi mababago yung 'base name' ko pero they will allow me to use my married name sa passport gamit lang as evidence yung marriage certificate ko.

    Balak ko pa rin kasing gamitin yung maiden name ko at work e. Baka kasi kung officially kong babaguhin name ko mapipilitan akong i-update pati sa workplace ko.

    Hay.... pano ba to.

    @poinsettia9 so kung magpapachange name sya sa passport, how about sa visa, no need to change name as long as may proof? Or need din papalitan ung name nya?
