More time to return to pre-marriage surname after divorce.
After divorce, you now have one year, instead of the previous 3 months, to decide to return to your pre-marriage surname. You make this declaration at a civil registry office or consulate. This change makes the decision process less rushed.
Key points
You have 12 months (one year) after divorce to change your surname back to your pre-marriage name.
Previously, you only had 3 months for this decision.
If your 3-month deadline had not yet passed, you now automatically have one year to make the declaration.
