To get married in the Philippines, you need to follow a specific process. Here are the general steps:
File a Marriage License Application:
Visit the local Civil Registrar's Office (usually located in the city or municipality where either the bride or groom resides) and file a Marriage License Application. Both parties need to appear in person.
Provide Required Documents:
Prepare and submit the necessary documents, which may include:
Birth certificates of both parties.
Valid identification (e.g., passports or government-issued IDs).
Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR) from the National Statistics Office (NSO) or Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
Parental advice or parental consent if either party is 18-21 years old.
Attend a Pre-Marriage Counseling or Seminar:
Attend a marriage counseling or seminar, which is usually conducted by the local government unit. Some localities require this as a prerequisite for the marriage license.
Pay the Necessary Fees:
Pay the marriage license fee, which varies by location.
Wait for the Publication of Banns:
The marriage license will be posted for about 10 consecutive days in a public area to allow any objections to be raised.
Get the Marriage License:
After the waiting period and if there are no objections, the marriage license can be claimed. It is usually valid for 120 days.
Choose a Solemnizing Officer:
Decide on who will solemnize the marriage. It could be a judge, mayor, priest, minister, or any person authorized by the government.
Have the Marriage Ceremony:
Have the marriage ceremony officiated by the chosen solemnizing officer.
Get the Marriage Certificate:
After the ceremony, the solemnizing officer will prepare and sign the Marriage Certificate. Make sure to get several copies for future use.
It's important to note that this is a general guide, and specific requirements or processes may vary by location. Always check with the local Civil Registrar's Office for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
