REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO MARRY A FILIPINA IN THE PHILIPPINES

WHAT ARE THE REQUIREMENTS IN ORDER TO MARRY A FILIPINA IN THE PHILIPPINES?

FIRST, you need to secure a marriage license.
To do this, you have to visit your Local Civil Registrar in the city where you want to be married and submit the following documents:
1. Certified true copies of birth certificates from the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)
2. Notarized affidavit of parental consent or advice for applicants below 25 years of age.
3. Latest Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) or Certificate of Singleness.


4. Certificate of Attendance in a pre-marriage counseling, family planning, and responsible parenthood seminar.
5. Valid ID
.

In addition to the above requirements, for foreign nationals, one has to also submit the following:
1. Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry issued by the Consular office/embassy of his/her country
. For British applicants, it will be an affidavit or affirmation of marital status.
For U.S. citizens, its consulate is not allowed by law to make any certification about your eligibility for marriage in the Philippines. What it can only provide is an affidavit in place of the Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry, which you can secure by appointment from the US Embassy in Manila or through a walk-in application at the U.S. Embassy in Cebu.

2. Photocopy of your passport (showing the date of arrival and data)
If you have been annulled or divorce, you also have to provide Certificate of Finality of Annulment from the Court and Certificate of Registration from the Local Civil Registrar.
In case of a widow who wants to remarry, the death Death Certificate of the deceased spouse is also a requirement.

You can use the marriage license anywhere in the Philippines, and you have 120 days to get married once you have secured it. Otherwise, the license expires, and you need to get a new one again.
