I recently got married and I want to change my last name to my husband's last name. Can anybody help me how to do that and where to apply?

I am a Christian ... so it's a practice for the female if we got married to add the husband's surname....anyway, thanks chameleon and Thank you cherukkan for the advices..i will call the Philippine embassy as well...

LP.. its not hard at all if one knows to live correctly as muslim, after knowing true facts about islamic jurisprudance...n know exactly the reasons anything might be prohibited...in this case with regards to the name addition,its all misconceived perceptions of poorly informed people who say its prohibited...

i suggest before concluding something which might perhaps be offensive to some other people you should think twice weather to say something or not...after all its a mixed socity with so many people from differnt faiths and thinking...wasnt this taught to you ever to be thoughtful and to be considerate at peoples feelings..

It must be hard to be a Muslim with so many things you're not allowed to do.

If you are a Muslim, then its haram to change your sur name to husband's sur name.

Keep it the same.
