Good day! I recently got married in the Philippines to an American and my passport will expire by Mar 2011. I am coming back to the US (using my tourist visa) this November 2010 and I guess I needed to renew my passport. I don't have my marriage certificate available yet. Am I allowed to use my married name or should I still use my maiden name on my new passport?

Thank you for your help.

where is your marriage certificate?

Sometimes my language usage seems confusing - please feel free to 'read it twice', just in case !
Ya know, you can find the answer to your question with the advanced search tool, when using a PC? Ditch the handphone, come back later on a PC, and try again.

I am no expert in regard to the Philippines, so keep that in mind.

1) Why do you need a new passport?

It's still valid 'til March of next year?

How long to you plan to stay in the US?

There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all . . . . The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic . . . . There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

You have three choices:

1) Renew to the new style passport,

2) Have your passport amended, or

3) Get an Affidavit of "One and the Same Person".

ETA: Strike all that except #1. Doesn't the DFA issue passports?

You may still use your maiden name if you do not declare your marriage. Once you declare you are married to an American, you will be required to submit Certificate of Attendance from CFO in addition to the usual requirements.

When travelling, it is best that your passport, visa and plane ticket are all under the same name. Less hassle that way.

Having said that, as long as you can prove with marriage certificate and other documents that you are one and the same person, it really does not matter.

Thank you. Last question, coming to the US with a CR1, is it a requirement to have my hubby's last name (married name)on my passport or my old passport with my maiden name is acceptable?

What name is your CR-1 visa in? Your maiden name or married name?
