Using the husband's surname, will you or will you not?

[leelou]

Yes, I'm now using my husband's surname after a year of marriage. Nagkaproblem kase ako sa bank loan because all my ID's nakalagay dun yun maiden's name ko pa. kapag married na pala and nagloan ka included ang husband sa loan pati sa pirma. so ang requirements is ID's na ang surname is yung surname ni hubby. ang gastos and nakakapagod pala mag change status. BIR, Philhealth, kuha ng marriage contract sa NSO, postal ID.. yung SSS and passport hindi ko pa naaasikaso. siguro asikasuhin ko sa susunod na payagan uli ako makapag leave.

sis, i didn't encounter naman any problem with my auto loan with BPI. wala pa ako ID with my married name, i just provided them with copy of our marriage cert though. ako main borrower tas co-maker si hubby.

I don't feel like having my BF's last name someday. Filipino last name kasi 'yung akin and very unique. You don't hear it everywhere, that's why I like it.

He's last name is Marcelo, very common lol. 

Saka I want to give an honor to my Father's name before I change it.

hi mga sis, joining! we got married last dec 3 and though i am dying to use his last name, hindi pa pwede. kasi yung passport and visa na hinahawakan ko is maiden name ko pa rin ang nakalagay hindi naman namin mapachange kagad kasi need ng authenticated copy from nso, e ang tagal pa nun. hay.

Hi sis, have you tried requesting na sa NSO? I got married in 2010, a little over a month after that I tried requesting from NSO's site (ecensus.com.ph).  Marriage cert was delivered less than a week.  It was ready by then and it was so easy, I did everything online  

I was told though it would also depend on how early the church (or wherever you got married) would forward the marriage contract.

^really sis? our church submitted it 3 days after ng wedding namin. yun ba yung ilalagay sa form ba date of registration ng certificate?

parang hindi naman hiningi sakin before yung date of registration. I never knew the date when they submitted exactly.  Try mo baka ready na

[Irtwisted]

I will not be using my partner's last name when we get married. He is okay with it.

I've been married for 2 years na and so far, sa Facebook palang ako nag-hyphenate. All my other IDs and official documents bear my maiden name. This isn't because I don't want to change my last name. Actually I really like his last name kasi it's very unique dito sa Philippines (napagkakamalan laging first name nya). It's mainly because I don't know where to start. Ang dami ko na kasing IDs, records, etc. di ko alam kung pano ayusin lahat! O_O

[joannie]

I will. Pero dine-delay ko hehe.  Para kasing ang daming abalang mangyayari. 
Parang your world will stop kasi habang prinoproseso wala kang magagamit na ID. 
Pero nakakahiya din kasi sa in-laws.  Saka obligasyon mo un bilang wife.  So give in.

[jamila_19]

bagong kasal lang kami so hindi muna sa ngayon lalo na nasa ibang bansa kami at kinasal [textspeak!] kami noong nasa pinas kami nagbakasyon. madami pang proseso kaya matatagalan pa.

eversince I got married I used hyphenated surname. even sa email add ko from previous job hyphenated din. sa current job ko naman, HR records is hyphenated but email is yung married name.
mahaba kasi surname ni hubby, no problem naman kasi both our surnames were like from Spanish surnames 

[ronelie]

given the chance, NO..di ko type surname nya!

[Red Rack 21]

i do but i affix my signature same when i was single hyphen then surname nya. i did not drop my last name kase panget apelyido nya

[simang]

Hyphenated gagamitin ko. i dont want to fully drop my family name kase it will always be part of my identity. But then again my h2b will be part of my family na din so im taking his name as well. Besides, as shallow as it may sound, i love both our family names, it kinda sounds alike kaya i would totally dig my last name-his last name. Even sa kids namen gusto ko ganun.

[nathanielle]

I use both our last names. Admittedly my maiden last name opens more doors for me, so it's a little hard to let it go hehe.

[Pink_Sugar]

buti may thread na ganito.
Pag mag asawa kayo tapos iinterviewhin kayo sa US embassy, okay lang ba na magkaiba ang last name nyong mag asawa? Pero may dala ka naman marriage certificate.

[vain_kixie]

Yes its okay.  US laws pa, the land of the free. You have a choice to retain your maiden name just like here in the Philippines.

[clueless_bride]

Based sa mga nabasa ko dito from fellow mrs., di naman required magpalit ng surname.
been married for 7 months and we're both based overseas so mas madaming hassle magpalit ng mga IDs. I dont even know where to start.
My passport is expiring one year from now, di ko alam kung ireretain ko ba maiden name ko or mag change na ko. Si hubby actually prefers na i retain my maiden name kasi sosyal pakinggan daw haha, unlike his surname na medyo di kagandahan haha!
Anyway, if i keep my maiden name ba tapos kunwari nagsasagot ako ng mga forms, ano ba ilalagay ko na last name? Yung maiden name ko or kay hubby na? Medyo confused lang ako sa part na yun. So pag nagsagot ako ng forms ang gagamitin ko ay kung ano mga nsa ID ko pa din dba? like kung anong nasa passport ko, pero ang civil status ko na ay Married sa forms? tama ba???

^ that seems to create confusion sa local government units natin here sa Pinas sis. Like sa NBI. Apparently, not everyone knows na we are allowed to not adopt our husband's surname. Pahirapan sa pagrerenew sa ibang LGUs, nakakainis. sasabihin nila di daw pwede yun, blah blah.

Ako, in respect to him narin naman and to avoid any complications or long explanations I have to make in the future, I use his surname na. Lalo na I'm not in a field naman na very important ang maiden name. Lawyers, doctors, etc.

[j.adore]

I changed my surname para wala hassle sa mga IDs, forms, etc.

At first, I wanted to hyphen my maiden surname then my husband's surname kaso ayaw ng mga government offices. Iba daw ang mandate sa kanila kahit na legally pwede yun.

Sa corporate office ko na lang nagagawa yung hyphen kasi baka sabihan ako ng "who U?" ng mga kawork ko.
