Every Filipino citizen is entitled to obtain a
passport from the Republic of the Philippines. Since dual citizenship in the
Philippines is allowed, citizens who have dual citizenship status are also
permitted to process their Philippine passport. Some applicants especially
married women have limited information on the DFA Passport Requirements for
married women.
Because of this limitation, they have encountered
difficulties and to the extent they wasted their time and money to prepare
their application. There are two steps on how to process DFA Passport
requirements for married women.
A. Married applicants who are willing to use the
surname of their husband, they are required to bring their legal and
authenticated marriage contract. Below are some additional requirements:
1. Marriage Contract in Security
Paper issued by NSO and Certified True Copy issued by the Local Civil Registrar.
2. Certificate of Attendance from
CFO (Commission of Filipino Overseas) if married to a foreigner (color green).
B. Married applicants who are planning to revert
their maiden name are required to submit documents related to their change of
maiden name. Additional information below:
1. Death Certificate of the
deceased husband and Marriage Contract (MC) in Security Paper issued by NSO or
by the Local Civil Registrar duly authenticated by NSO.
2. If marriage is annulled:
Certified true copy and photocopy of the first page and the dispositive portion
of the judgment on annulment and NSO-issued Marriage Certificate with the
annotation on the annulment decree.
3. If divorced: Certified true
copy and photocopy of the first page and the dispositive portion of the
judgment on divorce authenticated by the Philippine Embassy or Consulate where
the divorce is obtained and NSO-issued Marriage Certificate with the annotation
on the divorced decree.
On the other hand, married women who aspire to
apply or renew their passports should make a personal appearance at the
Department of Foreign Affairs – Office of Consular Services together with their
marriage contract and other DFA passport requirements.
