Legally going through name change after marriage and having it reflect on identity documents like the LTO driver’s license is an important part of getting married or getting annulled, separated, or divorced. It is, in fact, a subtle way of informing everyone about the apparent change in their marital status. However, unlike in the olden times, doing so is no longer mandatory. It has, in fact, become optional for a woman who recently got married to get her last name on official documents changed to her husband’s. Nevertheless, thanks to the cultural influences, many people still prefer not to keep their maiden name and to use their husband’s name instead.

However, the process of changing names after getting married can seem like a lot of work. It’s really not! In this comprehensive guide, we will take you through the entire process of changing names at the Land Transportation Office (LTO), from the requirements, to the different rules, guidelines, and fees related to changing the name on your driver’s license. This article is relevant to any Filipino who wishes to change the name on their driver’s license after getting married, annulled, or legally separated.

LTO Revision of Records: Changing Name After Marriage or Annulment

Changing your name after marriage or divorce is usually a simple process. It’s no longer automatic like it used to be in the old times, but making the change after you get married or after you get divorce remains something doable. 

There are several ways of changing your name in your LTO records. Some are simple changes while others may require a court order and a personal appearance. These changes can either be completely changing your name to your spouse’s last name or using a hyphenated version of your last name and your husband’s last name after marriage. Other name change requests include reverting to your old last name after divorce, annulment, or legal separation.  

Eligibility for Name Change at LTO

But who can make a request to change or update LTO records with a new (last) name? Well, anybody who owns a registered Driver’s License (DL) who recently got married, annulled, or legally separated can put in a request to do so as long as she intends to update his Driver’s License Record with LTO. 

Like every other DL holder though, the applicant also needs to satisfy the following conditions:

• Able to read and write in Filipino, English, or any major dialect
• Holder of Valid DL or a DL that has not renewed two (2) years after the expiry date
• Driver’s License or Appropriate Affidavit if DL is Lost or Mutilated
• Has no unsettled traffic violation

Benefits of Name Change in LTO 

Some of the benefits associated with record change for names after marriage or annulment, include:

• The ability to use a driver’s license to drive freely without worrying about getting caught with or accused of using a DL with a “faked” name.
• A valid driver’s license can serve as a useful government-issued photo ID that is valid almost anywhere in the Philippines.
• It can serve as your proof of change in marital status, whenever and wherever necessary.
• As it also usually comes with change in marital status, the updated driver’s license can serve as subtle proof of your personal relationship status which affects other things like your motor vehicle insurance premium.

Requirements for LTO Revision of Records: Change Name

The requirements for making a record change for your (last) name with LTO requires submission of the following documents:

• Properly Accomplished Application for Driver’s License

As such, it is imperative to keep it as updated as possible whenever there’s any change in your biographical information reflected in the ID. This is where name change plays a role. Not only does it back up the change in your marital status, but a name change also subtly announces this change, whenever and wherever a valid government-issued ID is needed. Nevertheless, renewal and revision should not be considered as a burden, but as a way to continue enjoying the privilege of driving legally in the Philippines. It helps DL holders avoid legal repercussions or getting charged with a criminal offense if you are caught driving with a different name on your driver’s license. After all, the LTO driver’s license is an important and valid government-issued photo ID that can attest to your identity claims almost everywhere in the Philippines. The LTO violations also correspond to certain penalties and some of them may even lead to your license being suspended or revoked.

People generally own various official identity documents that can attest not only to their identity but also to their age and birth date. One such document is the driver’s license issued by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in the Philippines. An LTO driver’s license is an identity document issued to roadworthy drivers which gives them the authority to operate certain motor vehicles on public roads. It contains the driver’s name and other more sensitive biographical information like their birth date. 

Since the license information is manually encoded in the LTO system, either by the person themselves or by an LTO officer, it is inevitable to make mistakes. Incorrect birth dates in LTO records is not very common, but it isn’t rare or unusual. So, if you ever find yourself issued with a driver’s license with incorrect birth date, don’t fret. Instead, you can check on the procedures to get it revised or updated in order to set the records straight. In this guide, we will offer you just that.
