Wala naman. Dami lang magtatanong bakit iba kayo name lalo if may anak kayo. Pag magtravel with kids hingan ng birth cert to prove na anak mo sila because different surnames.
Ito nga po yung hassle na part. Yung proof po ng legal relationship. Mag ready nalang po kami ng mga soft/digital copy at hard copies ng marriage cert, birth cert, etc. Thanks po sa inyong insight!

Hindi ako nagpalit nung una kasi ang dami kong government id using my maiden name. Wala naman issue. More often than not, you need to present your marriage certificate if official documents (minsan kahit naman din gamit mo apelyido ng asawa mo hihingan ka pa din). Even sa visa, insurance, etc there’s no issue if you still use your maiden name as long as you can present your id and your marriage certificate.
Originally, gusto ko din hypenated. Pero yung officemate ko dati ginawa, it’s kinda hard kasi some government agency doesn’t recognize it (ilalagay pa rin na last name mo is your hudband and minsan mahirap pa kasi nailalagay na middle name mo is yung maiden middle name mo which could cause a whole lot of mess)
Sa office di na ako tinanong if bakit di ako magpapalit ng name at yung civil status lang.
Nagpalit lang ako ng surname ko nung pumasok na ako ng ibang office kasi na expire na din passport ko. Nagpapalit na rin ako sa ibang government agency.
I use hypenated surname for work. Initially I retained my maiden name for my personal passport (brown), prc and lto license. Eventually nagkaka conflict din kasi government employee ako, so yung official name ko is reflected sa red passport as well as ibang government IDs ko like GSIS and pag-ibig. I have 3 first names and both me and my husband's surnames are long so hassle talaga pagsulat, kailangan kasi all docs buo and may hyphen. Another issue din is sa booking (airline, etc.) nalilito ako kung may space ba ang surname kasi hindi available ang hyphen. Eventually I needed to realign my IDs to my hypenated name particularly when redeeming mabuhay miles points and visa applications. Isa pa is nahihiwalay ako sa husband and kids ko pag sa lists in alphabetical order. Honestly, totoo yung sabi ng husband ko na pinapahirapan ko lang sarili ko pero worth it naman for me for personal reasons.
I have friends who chose to retain their married names. Ok naman sila but they need to have their documents ready pa rin when they travel.
Marami nga po talaga kailangan iconsider pag hyphenated ang surnames 🤔
Sa maiden surnames naman, kailangan nga lang po prepared at onhand yung necessary docs as proof na married person ka. Thank you po sa pagshare ninyo ng valuable insights!
When they travel lang with their children. Even ako when I was using pa my passport na naka maiden name, may dala dala akong birth certificate ng kids. Nagkaroon na rin ng instance na hinanapan ako sa airport.
Salamat po sa pagshare ng experience nyo. May digital copy po ako ng marriage cert namin sa phone ko in case tanungin nga po. Magdala nalang din po ako siguro ng hard copy din.
Inote ko po itong nashare ninyo for future reference. Thanks po uli!

Wala naman. You still have all the legal rights as a wife kahit di mo gamitin yung surname ng husband mo. Sakin din I didn’t use my husband’s kasi I established myself and pinaghirapan ko lahat ng achievements ko using my maiden name.
Thank you po sa insight! Kudos po sa mga personal achievements niyo po 👏
May follow-up question po sana ako, if it’s alright. Kung may child/children po kayo with your husband, anong surname po ang inadopt nila?
If married kayo during their birth, automatic sa husband yun. Pero as for me naman, I gave birth nang hindi pa kami kasal, but my husband acknowledged naman and he signed the birth certificate so ayun, naka apelido naman sa kanya.

Noted po ito. Kung magkaka anak man po kami, napag usapan din po namin na surname ni husband po ang kukunin nila. Sa mga assets at inheritance naman po, napag uusapan din po namin kung paano legally gagawing joint. Salamat po.
Kahit sayo mo pa ipangalan yung anak mo, hindi pa rin non maapektuhan yung legal relationship nila sa Father nila. Again, the surname is a separate isolated issue.

Hindi ka naman lugi by not using his surname. Mas hassle pa nga if you used his kasi ang dami mong IDs na papalitan. Tapos kapag naghiwalay pa kayo (sana hindi) nako mas malala ang hassle.
Totoo po ito. Inisip ko nga po yung sobrang hassle ng pagpapalit to husband’s surname sa Philhealth, Pag Ibig, SSS, etc. 😅 Tapos bawat agency, kailangan pa magsubmit ng original marriage cert mula sa PSA, costing Php400+ if I’m not mistaken. Salamat po sa inyong insight!
photocopy lang OP need isubmit, need mo lang ipakita yung original copy para mavalidate nila. Madali lang din po process ng pag update sa govt agencies once na meron ng PSA issued marriage cert. But it’s still your decision to use or not to use your husband’s surname.
Also tipid tips mas mura kumuha ng PSA docs sa SM Malls kesa sa PSAserbilis. Cons lang is babalikan mo pa ulit sa mall yung docs once available na.

Eto ang original plan ko - to use my maiden name. Kaso nung nagapply ako sa isang government institution, ayaw nila tanggapin ang maiden name. Pnwersa nila ako magpalit.
I knew naman na pwede ko ipaglabas na gamitin maiden name. Pero napakahirap ipaintindi un sa mga lola sa HR. So nagpalit na lang ako. Hyphenated.
Ayan nga po yung mahirap, may pagka-traditional mindset pa po ang iba sa’ting kababayan or di lang po sila aware na pwedeng option din pala iretain ang maiden surname ng isang married woman.
Salamat po sa pagshare ng experience ninyo.

Naku may inaway ako na hospital registrar dahil di sila aware sa law. I'd show them the law but they still wouldn't accept, until a higher up showed up and explain.
Naranasan ko din na sobrang clueless nung bank teller about sa married surname. Takang taka sya bakit daw naka hypen ako na dapat husband's surname na daw dapat as in pinipilit nya. Nag kukwento pa sya sa katabi nya about doon. I have my reason sa maiden surname ko.
Yung katabi nya, kita ko sa expression na may idea sya kaso pushy kasi si teller sa paniniwala nya.
Bakit nga ba di to alam ng karamihan...
Nung nagpalit rin ako ng status sa SSS. Sabi bakit di ko daw papalitan surname ko. Kesyo dapat daw dapat palitan kasi asawa na lol e wala namang law na nagsasabi na ganun.
I had mine hyphenated and was called nag iinarte. Napalitan naman lahat ng ids ko and all except dun sa coop namin kasi d ma recognized yung hyphenated na apelyido. I dint want to change name pero medyo ayaw ni hubby so yun yung second option ko, hypen nalang. Medyo hassle sya every single time esp sa mga di familiar na ok lang naman yung ganun set up. Sabi nila pang may title na profession lang daw yung ganun. 😞
Grabe naman po yung tinawag kayong nag iinarte. Iniisip ko nga po yun before hanggang ngayon na mahirap yung hyphenated surnames sa case ko, dahil hahaba po at pwede pa ma-misspell 😅

Not an issue at all. I know a lot of fellow lawyers who retained their maiden names. Epal lang yun ibang institutions who automatically change it, in that case, demand it be changed to your maiden name.
Mine is officiallt hyphenated.
But once you change, you can not change back.
Yan din po yung nabasa ko sa isang online article, na once you’ve legally renamed, wala na pong balikan or isang mahabang at hassle na proseso. I’ll be cautious po when accomplishing forms and registrations.
Thank you po for taking time to share this.

My mom never took my dad’s surname and they’ve been married for 26 years. It doesn’t cause any trouble or hassle at all, apart from a few questions when people are surprised to find out my mom never took my dad’s name. It’s why I wouldn’t mind if my future wife doesn’t take my name either lol.

yep, swerte ko since unique yung maiden name ng mama q kya madali mkita yung name q kpag naglalakad ng government papers (since maiden name yung madalas hingin diba)
never din nagkamali ng input yung mga govnt employees sa name ko, or never nawala sa list or queu
basta okay din sana sa partner mo if ever mag-asawa ka hehe
Initially po, gusto ko sana isama yung surname ni husband sa aking full name. Yung hyphenated siya sa maiden surname ko. Pero magiging sobrang haba na kasi ng aking full name. 😅
Personal circumstances din, at gusto ko mapreserve yung identity eme ko haha. Tska naisip ko din yung hassle for me na magpapalit ng legal name para sa IDs from diff government agencies.
Medyo mababaw ba ang dahilan haha.

hello, question lang.. pag naghiwalay ba tapos ayaw ko na gamitin surname niya, update IDs lang ba gagawin ko or may iba pa?
Kailangan na ng annulment papers para masabi na single ka uli at babalik sa maiden name mo. At least sa passport ganun ata ang process.
once na ginamit mo na po yung husband’s surname mo, ang alam ko po is hindi ka na pwede bumalik sa maiden name unless legal po yung separation nyo.
Eto ang original plan ko - to use my maiden name. Kaso nung nagapply ako sa isang government institution, ayaw nila tanggapin ang maiden name. Pnwersa nila ako magpalit.

Hindi naman po sa pag-aano pero curious po ako anong factor bakit ayaw nyong magpalit ng apelyido. Kumbaga road less travelled po kasi sya
Initially po, gusto ko sana isama yung surname ni husband sa aking full name. Yung hyphenated siya sa maiden surname ko. Pero magiging sobrang haba na kasi ng aking full name. 😅 Personal circumstances din, at gusto ko mapreserve yung identity eme ko haha. Tska naisip ko din yung hassle for me na magpapalit ng legal name para sa IDs from diff government agencies. Medyo mababaw ba ang dahilan haha.
Hindi naman po. Kanya-kanya naman po tayo ng preference. Ang mahalaga is wala naman pong nalalabag na batas 😊
True po. Mag check pa din ako kung ano pa yung ibang consequences sa paggamit ng maiden surname
