Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years.

No, you do not send in the passport for ROM. Here's instructions on how to accomplish ROM:

You only surrender your original passport when you change your name due to marriage, but this must be done IN PERSON, either in the PI @ DFA, at a consulate, or a consular outreach program. They will "punch" it with a metal grommet, rendering it unusable. They send your new one via mail (in our case, they promised it 45-60 days later).

Just a tip.. when we mailed our info for ROP with a fee I think it was about $25 with all the requirements we never got it in the mail. When I finally called to ask why they didn't mail it to us they said because I didn't include a stamped envelope. Amazing they didn't figure the cost of a stamp with the fee. Anyway after a week for me to mail a stamped envelope to them we finally got it.

I went with my wife to get her passport am ended to her married name which we did in person in one morning. Having the ROP which was required made the name change on passport easy
