Married but Wife still not using my Last name - Pinoy Australia Information Forum

alexamae

I'm married for a year now but my wife still hasn't changed her last name. Hindi kasi sya compulsory dito sa SG so di nalang muna namin pina process kasi matagal ang pagkuha ng passport ngayon. Wala kami masyado time pag uwi sa pinas, so hinayaan lang muna namin. Meron na kaming NSO certified na marriage cert/license.

Question: magpaprocess na sana kami ng application, need ba nya magpapalit muna ng last name? Ako ang main applicant.

Salamat sa time.

I believe she doesn't need to change as long as you have a CTC of your marriage certificate, there should be no problem on it. Dito din naman sa Pinas, may option talaga ang wife if they're going to retain their maiden name or change it to their married name. Nakasanayan na lang lahat na nagpapalit to married name pero hindi din compulsory satin.

i am married to a wonderful person for twelve long years but i still carry (no disrespect to my hubby) my maiden name in almost all transactions--immigration etc (even passport).it is not a problem if you have the document from NSO as proof that ur legally married...as long as u indicate that u r married...aussies are not particularly meticulous with name change for married women.

agree.. that's why they also created an option to include "de-factor" partner in the visa application.. married/not married, surname changed or not... no issues at all..

Wife's maiden name in all our submitted docs.

guys, ask ko lang. in my case naman, i'm using my husband's name (btw i'm a girl, if ever you'll be confused with my username..hehehe). initial stage palang kami sa application. nag-aayos palang kmi ng mga papers. i am the principal applicant. my skill is to be assessed by vetassess. my question is, meron part dun sa application form na nakalagay na other names. i'm thinking of putting my maiden name dun kc lahat ng school credentials ko maiden ko pa nakalagay. tpos humihingi sila ng proof of change of name. eh a ang proof ko lang is marraige certficate.

anu ba sa tingin nyo or based sa experience nyo? hwag nalang ba ako maglagay ng details dun sa other name na portion. magegets naman na cguro nila pag nakita nila pag nkita nila ung marriage certifcate namin. or ilagay ko pa din?

thanks!!
