ela_bat Posted September 19, 2008 Share Posted September 19, 2008 Yes she will encounter a problem. You have two options: 1. Correct your marriage certificate, and other records to state the real name of your wife Maria2. You have your birth certificate changed to Ma. instead of Maria. This can be done administratively and will cost less. Just go to the Civil registrar who issued your birthcertificate If you ask me, i will go for option 2 as this will be faster and less costly.

The best way for you is to approach a good travel agency ( I suppose you need it asap because you're traveling ) they have their people who can help you with your problem, even as to the fast-tracking of the process.

When you say Chinese is it Taiwan or PROC??? Because Hong Kong is now part of PROC. What you should do is to report to the Bureau of Immigration that you have recently acquired a Hong Kong Passport and will be using your first passport and second passport alternately. This assumes that Hong Kong and PROC or Taiwan allows such dual use of passports, you can clarify this with their respective embassies. If they don't then you'll have to choose which one to use from now onwards. Quote Link to comment

maxgreg Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 does anyone know the steps in correcting a birth certificate with a typo error in a surname? Quote Link to comment
pol22366 Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 ^^^ Go to the Local Civil Registrar where the birth certificate is filed, ask the personnel there, they have an administrative procedure now that can help you with your problem. Quote Link to comment
ela_bat Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 does anyone know the steps in correcting a birth certificate with a typo error in a surname? with due respect to pol22366, administrative correction of birth certificate under Republic Act 9048 pertains only to correction of clerical or typographical error of the first name and not the last or surname. with due respect i think the proper proceedure is for you to go to court to file a petition for the correction of your birth certificate more particularly the surname. This will also involve publication. The proper venue would be where your birth was registered. Quote Link to comment

maxgreg Posted October 28, 2008 Share Posted October 28, 2008 yes you will need a lawyer for this Thank you for the replies! However, I've inquired with NSO through their website and I received an email stating that my case even though a surname error is considered a typo error and is covered by RA9048. I have yet to start my process with the Local Civil Registrar. More power to you all! Quote Link to comment
