Identification certificate and phil passport

[Jeanine84 0]

I got my identification certificate (recognition as a Philippine citizen) 

at the end of 2016. I’m now back in the USA and want to get a Philippine passport at the consulate in sf. I saw all sorts of things about have report of birth which I think my mom may have done while she was getting requirements for my recognition. I will try seeing is Cenomar has a copy of my birth certificate now. However I’m starting to think if it will be a problem that on my certificate my name is two names. My former married name and my maiden now current name. I asked for it to purposely have both as during the time I was legally divorced already but using my ex husbands surname and my us passport was under my ex husbands name so I wanted it to match my certificate upon leaving the Philippines to avoid fees. It says AKA and then my current legal name. I plan to apply under my legal name do you think they will ask information about my previous marriage and divorce? Both were not registered in the Philippines. Both occurred abroad in United States and ended before I became recognized as a citizen. Thanks for any input.

If you marriage was in the USA and never reported, then your Philippine passport was always in your maiden name?   And your U.S. passport was/is in your past married name?   You can change your U.S. passport once divorced, you can revert to your maiden name in the USA after divorce.    https://travel.state.gov/content/travel/en/passports/apply-renew-passport/change-correct.html           You can change all your ID to your maiden name after divorce.

 

You completed your dual citizenship and the Recognition was completed in your previous married name and your single name both?

 

Just an opinion -   If your CENOMAR shows your maiden name, and your recognition shows both names I would think DFA would have no problem issuing a passport in your maiden name.
