Changing your Wife's name to her married on on her Current passport can be an Adious Job. For no good reason, they ask the most ridiculous Questions including Why and where she wants to go. Best ( Which is what we did) is wait until she renews and then Apply in her Married name, Less Hassle and this they seem to understand. New is New, Changing seems to give them a Problem

AS to the BB issue maybe a phome call to the BOI will Claryfy but as long as you have your Marriage Certificate and she has all her ID's a Different name on her Passport should make no Difference. After all you could have Married in the US and she would still have her maiden name on the Passport.

For me Married is Married regardless of a name. but..... a quick Call to the BOI will sort things out I am sure.

Thanks fella's for your replies, I was hoping to avoid going to Cebu but I will be taking my wife to visit her family in Cebu the next few months so will visit the dfa there on one of the trips.

 

I would go to bacalod we got one same day , its not crowded there make sure all your papers are in order you can get a list from the tourist office in Quezon park.Ring them in bacalod to make sure their is not a holiday there we dont know about cgeers

 

Horizon. Upstairs at the BOI in Dumaguete, there is travel Agent. Right in front of you at the top of the stairs. Go talk to them and they will explain it all to you. They will even do your Application and arrange the interviews. believe me the cost on top of the issue will be well wort the hassle. I believe it is call JJ or something like that,
