4. REVALIDATION OR EXTENSION OF VALIDITY OF OFFICIAL PASSPORT

The Philippine Embassy may revalidate or extend the validity of an Official Passport, which is issued to Philippine government officials or employees who are in Thailand on official business. The requirements are as follows:

b. Valid passport;

c. Photocopy of the passport's personal data and visa pages;

d. Confirmation of request and approval from the Department of Foreign Affairs; and

5. AMENDMENTS TO PASSPORT

Amendments are authorized changes made to a Filipino's passport details as a result of a change in civil or legal status. An example is when a Filipino woman, after contracting marriage, decides to use the surname of her husband. Passports can be amended when a Filipino woman decides to revert to her maiden name after the death of her husband, after her marriage was annulled, or after being divorced by her foreign spouse.

The passport can also be amended to reflect a change of surname of a child who is legitimated by virtue of a subsequent marriage of his parents or, in case of adoption, to reflect the surname of the child's adoptive father.
