In this paper, we investigate the propagation of the weak representation property (WRP) to an independently enlarged filtration. More precisely, we consider an $${\mathbb {F}}$$
F
-semimartingale X possessing the WRP with respect to $${\mathbb {F}}$$
F
and an $${\mathbb {H}}$$
H
-semimartingale Y possessing the WRP with respect to $${\mathbb {H}}$$
H
. Assuming that $${\mathbb {F}}$$
F
and $${\mathbb {H}}$$
H
are independent, we show that the $${\mathbb {G}}$$
G
-semimartingale $$Z=(X,Y)$$
Z
=
(
X
,
Y
)
has the WRP with respect to $${\mathbb {G}}$$
G
, where $${\mathbb {G}}:={\mathbb {F}}\vee {\mathbb {H}}$$
G
:
=
F
∨
H
. In our setting, X and Y may have simultaneous jump-times. Furthermore, their jumps may charge the same predictable times. This generalizes all available results about the propagation of the WRP to independently enlarged filtrations.
