Change of name to married name in a Filipino passport
Hi guys,
So we were granted the visa and now my wife is here in the uk. We originally left her name as the original for less complications with the visa process. Now we are here we would like to change it permanantly to my surname. How do we do it? Do we need to apply to the phil embassy in uk to change her passport? And will the uk embassy need to update her visa in her new passport?

Just a reminder to all.
There is no requirement or obligation to change the name in a passport.
Many members here have waited until there passports need to be renewed before changing.
The Philippine Embassy no longer processes name changes and will process a request for a new paasport from Manila.
Last info I got was it takes 12 weeks.
It's really just a personal choice.

She has to go to the Philippine Embassy in London to get a new passport with her married name. Check this website http://philembassy-uk.org/consular-matters/passport. If you want her visa to be on the new passport, you have to go UKBA and have it restamped using her married name..although you have to pay a fee for that..£102 http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/si...nsfer-form.pdf...or she can just always bring her old passport along with her new passport everytime she needs to show her visa.

Think very carefully about doing anything that requires giving up your passport.
If you really must do it just be 100% sure it will not be needed for anything until the new one is in your hands.
If you're here in UK on Fiance(e) why take risks before you have FLR.
BTW there are no complications passport-wise by doing nothing.
The only complications are not holding a passport in those times when it's needed.
