change of surname after marriage

bachuchay · August 2012

hello po,

ask ko lang po pano ang case pag nag change of name yung primary applicant due to marriage..will there be any conflicts
sa skills assessment or visa application since i change my surname, followed the surname of my husband? Magkaiba po kc ang surname s credentials ko nung single ako..now that i'm married,all my passports and other credentials is named under my new surname. Hope somebody in the group can enlighten me..thank you very much..

@bachuchay - i think nasagot na ito before sa iba thread.. di ko lang mahanap..

there is nothing to worry about this issue... you can prove that with your marriage certificate..
alam nmn nila na sa phils eh ginagamit ng female ang surname ng husband pag kasal na..

Para lang hindi ka magkaanxiety attack best way is to draft a letter and explaining why there is a chance of name. Include in your letter which among your documents apektado then have your letter checked and notarised...libre sa munisipyo or sa PAO or sa private law firm.

kremitz · April 2013

Husband ko pala yung main applicant.dependentlang ako

ela_0501 · April 2013

Hello @lock_code2004 , @spawn08,

Also need advise on my case. I am the primary applicant kasi and my current passport still bears my maiden name. Passport is about to expire in January and we're also expecting a baby next month. So ang plan ko is to have both my baby's new passport and my name change (passport renewal) be processed together in June.

The thing is, I am awaiting for my EOI result so lahat ng documents ko are still under my maiden name. Same lang ba ung process na pagdadaanan ko as per your above advise if I get a positive EOI result and continue with the next step (Skill Select)? Is there a need to fillout the change in circumstances form (1022?)?

What if hindi muna ako mag name change during passport renewal (I have checked with hubby and he is amenable with this hehehhe), how will it affect my application naman since both baby and hubby are my dependents? Or would you recommend na mag name change na talaga ako?

Hope you can help me on this. Your advise will be greatly appreciated.

spawn08 · April 2013

hello @kremitz. kahit maiden name pa gamit mo ok pa yun. its up to you naman kung magpapalit k. pero kung nakalodge n kyo ng EOI. yan ang d ko alam. ask @lock_code2004 . baka alam nya. wala pa kc ako sa stage ng EOI kaya d ko pa alam.

spawn08 · April 2013

hello ela_0501
kung tatanoningin mo ako. kung ganyan ang nasa position ko. hindi na muna ako magpapalit. kc nakapag EOI ka na. baka kc maging ok na, then nakapagpalit ikaw baka mas mahirapan ka ayusin sa DIAC. madali lng naman magpalit ng passport basta complete lng yun documents mo. intayin mo nlng muna yun nlng muna yun result ng EOI mo. pag may visa ka na. for me sa Phil Embassy AU ka nlng magpalit.
ask mo din yun mga idols dto like @lock_code2004. kung ano option nila.

lock_code2004 · April 2013

@kremitz @ela_0501 - i think i've answered this in several other threads..

NO issues with your maiden name in your passport
- submit your assessment
- submit your EOI
- process your visa application

if ever you decide to change your passport to your married name
- before the assessment, no problem, your marriage cert is enough to show you are married
- before EOI, no problem as well...
- during the visa processing, no problem, just submit Form 1022: Notification of change

For additional dependents:
- for pregnant- proceed with your processing as usual, then pagnagka CO na, inform your CO
- for new baby, just submit the same form 1022

familiaC · November 2014

Cruzis the hubby's surname.

Surname: Cruz
Given names: Kathy OR Kathy Reyes??? Include ko pa ba middle name ko (which is ung maiden name)

Magsubmit kasi ako ng eoi today. Thanks for ur prompt response.

@lock_code2004 hello po, good day!

Confirm ko lang po, so ok lang na kapag naglodge ako e married name gamitin ko pero yung passport ko po maiden name parin (sept 29 pa kase appointment date ng passport renewal ko dito sa sg so malamang dec ko pa makuha yung passport ko with new name) baka lang po malito sila kase passport yung main ID diba?

sana po mareplyan nyo ko kase im about to lodge my application. confused lang talaga which one to use..

ok lng yan. im sure theyve seen and handled more than 100s of applications from PH. just provide them all your documents including marriage certificate. use your married name if that is what you are presently using.

sylukewicent · July 2016

@lock_code2004 Hi I just want to clarify, is it ok to use maiden name in all of the documents? If yes, I don't need to submit name change? Just the marriage certificate to prove that we are married is needed?

Our condition: We did civil wedding last June 14, 2016. Still processing ang marriage certificate, and around end ng August siguro dadating ang marriage cert. But we already want to do EOI now. Ang current plan is lahat ng documents ay maiden name parin ang gagamitin ko. Ihahabol na lang namin ang marriage cert sa visa application. Do you think that is feasible?

engineer20 · July 2016

@sylukewicent ok naman gamitin muna maiden name. mas safe na gamitin muna kung anong name ang nasa current passport.

sylukewicent · July 2016

@lock_code2004 Thanks for your reply.

Actually now we're considering na mag name change na lang ng passport into married name. Para consistent na at married name narin ako sa magiging visa ko.

My question is:
1. Wala bang problem kung married name sa passport tapos maiden name yung other documents (like nbi clearance, etc)?

MayoMay · October 2017

not sure po if may sasagot pa sa thread na to. try ko lang din..
Me and my fiance got married nitong Oct. lang. we already have our visas last Feb. and nakapag initial entry na kami..
pero using my maiden name (dependent)..
Currently my passport is still under my maiden name. and about to expire na sa june nxt year. plan namin mag big move mid January. Dilema ko is gaano katagal kaya makuha ung PSA Marriage cert para maupdate ko ang status ko sa immi account.

tapos siempre before iupdate si Immi dapat same na sa passport. wala na schedule ng appointment available for nov-dec. kaya matry ko pa sa January. mas ok ba na kapag nakapag palit ako ng passport gamitin ko na married name then update si Immi account , upload ang bagong passport details and PSA Marriage cert? saka magbigmove?

If ever pala, sabi pwede daw na ang married name na gamitin ung surname ko hypenated ng surname ni hubby... based sa PH law... if ever un gamitin ko, paano sa mga forms sa AU..

halimbawa: Maiden Name: Mayo Reyes Cruz
Married Name: Mayo R. Cruz-Sabal (wherein Sabal ang surname ni hubby)
paano sa mga papers sa AU. if given name and last name lang required. magiging Mayo Sabal na lang ba sya?
