Change of Last Name for Passport Application

Requested from DFA by J. Popioco at 05:49 PM on Oct 13, 2023.
Purpose: Personal Concern
Date of Coverage: 10/13/2023 - 10/13/2023

Popioco 05:49 PM, Oct 13, 2023 

Hi! I would like to know what Last Name I should use for booking an appointment for renewal of my passport.

I have an expired passport bearing my mother's maiden name, however, I have been able to change my last name and use my father's.

Now, I want to book an appointment with DFA but I don't know what last name to use because my old passport does not match my birth certificate now.

Please shed some light on this concern. Thank you.
