the original documents for validation and authentication.
 If you are working, it is best to check with your HR before going to different
offices, as your HR might be able to process the change of name and status on your
behalf. In this way, you’ll save time.
 If you only want to change your marital status and still intend to use your
maiden name and the officer refuses to process your application, show a copy
of the Memorandum Circular No. 2016-07 of the Philippine Commission on Women
(PCW). The Memorandum mandates government offices and private entities to
adhere to the married woman’s choice of surname.
