can i revert my maiden name again?

i was married with Japanese man 2007. he fooled and divorced me 2009. pinapirma ako sa blank form na hindi ko alam divorce application pala. so dinivorced nya ako w
2009. 2011 nalaman ko sa family registered nya na married na sya sa another Filipina. but until gamit ko pa rin yung apelyido nya. which is really unfair. sa japan divorced na kami pero dahil walang divorced sa pilipinas need pa mag file ng report of foreign decree of divorce. which napakamahal hindi ko kaya suportahan financially dahil wala ako stable na income.. sa passport ko gamit ko parin apelyido nya. ang tanong ko lang hindi ko ba pwede gamitin yung maiden name ko ulit? may kopya ako ng desicion of divorced namin galing Japan mula sa munisipyo nila kung saan finile yung divorce namin.. papayagan kaya ako sa dfa na gamitin dati kong apelyido sa pagkadalaga? i hope may makatulong sa akin na masagot to. thank you...

Nope. Kailanganin kilalanin muna yang divorce nyo sa pinas through court bago madissolve ang kasal nyo.

so why the other person here told me. pwede ko i apply as new passport ulit yung maiden name ko nung single ako.. as long as i have ng mga papers like school records nung single pa ako.. ? pwede ko daw iapply sa DFA Pampanga wag sa Manila..

What your saying is falsification which is illegal. tsaka pag nabuko ng DFA yan, maaaring never na makakuha ulit ng passport kaya ingat ingat din.

hey wala akong anak..hindi kami nagka anak ng asawa ko. she's not suggesting falsification of documents or passport sabi lang pwede kong iapply yung maiden name ko as long as may mga documents when i was still single.. like school ids or records.. then iapply ko sa DFA pampanga. are you taking up law or already licensed attorney? just wanted to know..

isa pa if afford ko lang ifile yung recognition of foreign divorce hindi ko na need pa gawin yun .. pero wala akong stable income so hindi ko kaya.. kaya i'm looking for other option if pupuwede ... dahil ayoko na gamitin yung surname bg ex husband ko.

corrected it. confuse you with another person.

anyway falsification po yan kasi may passport ka na na married ka tapos magaapply ka ng bilang single? call it what you may pero ang balak mong gawin ay pandaraya sa gobyerno para lang makuha ang gusto mo.

regarding your last question, nasa signature ko yun sagot -not a lawyer so take my opinion with a grain of salt

fyi sir wala akong plan mandaya. doesn't mean na narinig ko opinion sa isa susundin ko. kaya nga nagtatanong diba? dahil hindi naman lahat ng nasa batas alam natin. isa pa hindi ako ganun ka stupida para gawin agad yung sinabi ng isa dito.. kaya naghahanap ako ng tao na may alam kung tama ba o hindi yung gagawin ko. kaya naghahanap ako ng right answer and may knowledge talaga dun sa corcern ko.. anyway thanks for your time

Then my initial answer is your "right" answer as that is the legal process. Kung indigent ka, pwede mo try lumapit sa PAO pero I doubt they handle this types of cases since madami sila workload.

nagtanong nako sa PAO about civil case like recognition of foreign divorce .. hindi nila ito msyadong tinututukan dahil mas marami silang mabibigat na kaso most of it criminal cases.. so walang pag asa. if private attorney naman napakamahal..

Hello po,

Should you get a new passport under your maiden name, you will submit documents that you have already submitted before -such as your birth certificate. The DFA crosschecks application forms and if they find out that you have made false statements in your application (RA 8239), you will be penalized and imprisoned.

(Sis-in-law works at DFA, but you may check with others also.)
