I am applying to get a passport, but the officer noticed that my birth certificate reflects the surname of my mother, while I stated in my application my father's surname as my last name. As far as I know, I have a right to use his surname because he is legally married to my mother. After processing that, will I be able to continue using my father's surname? The annulment of a voidable marriage shall not affect the legitimation." Legitimated children shall enjoy the same rights as legitimate children.
