Do we need to change her passport to her married name for an Australian partner visa application

WATCH THE VIDEO FOR THE ANSWER!

In this week’s episode of our Weekly Q&A one participant asked Do we need to change her passport to her married name?

The exact question was:

Does she need to update her passport to her married name immediately, or can it be done later on?

This is a common question from Australian Filipina couples where the Filipina lady has married the Australian man and is now using a married name. Does she need to update her Philippines passport immediately, or can she keep using the existing one?
