Department of Foreign Affairs(DFA)

I'm requesting assistance as I got married and want to update my status and last name, but some government agencies require a government-issued ID, which I don't have since I'm currently applying for one. My new last name is already listed on my PSA marriage contract, but it's causing issues as some agencies won't accept my request without a valid ID.

the following documents only I can provide with my new last name indicated.
- marriage contract /PSA
-TIN ID
-Company ID
