Department of Education(DepEd)

Hi! I would like to know how can I change my surname in my school records? 

I got my updated PSA birth certificate. I'm planning to study abroad. Please and thank you.

Dear eFOI user,
Mabuhay!
Thank you for utilizing the eFOI portal (www.foi.gov.ph) and exercising your right to information under Executive Order No. 2, s. 2016 on Freedom of Information in the Executive Branch.
We have received your request on change of name in school records, dated yesterday.
Please be informed that the inconsistency of a person's records is not only an issue at the Department of Education (DepEd), but a legal issue as well. Both records should be reconciled and should be decided as to what date of birth to follow. Kindly secure and submit the following pertinent documents to the Legal Unit of the DepEd Regional Office:
Original Birth Certificate
Joint Affidavit of Two (2) Disinterested Persons
Affidavit of Discrepancy (if of legal age)
Mother's/Father's Affidavit (if a minor)
Request letter addressed to the DepEd Regional Director specifying the intent to change the name from (WRONG NAME/S) to (CORRECT NAME/S)
Form 137 (Original or Certified True Copy)
For further assistance, you may directly coordinate with the DepEd Regional Office which has jurisdiction over the school.
Respectfully,
FOI Officer
