What do you need to do to have civil marriage in the Philippines?

the long way:


**Bring with you..yours %26amp; your gf's NSO-copy birth certificates and residence certificates (cedula) to your Local Civil Registrar. File for Marriage License. Fill up a form, pay whatever you need to pay. You can only get the Marriage License (which would be released 10 days after), after you have attended a one day seminar offered by the same office. Your Marriage License is your passport so when you finally have it, schedule, pay for the wedding rites -- the solemnizing officer could be your mayor or a judge.





Short cut:


I agree with the other reply before this...Find somebody who can ';HELP'; you, but be ready to shell out more. Quezon City area? I can give you an address so, you won't have to give anything to that ';somebody to help you';..You can go directly to the judge. He was our solemnizing officer. His staff took care of the authentic marriage license. We were just saved in attending the seminar (which I now realize as important) and the 10day waiting period. But the ceremony is complete. We paid for everything and after 6months I was able to get an NSO copy of our marriage certificate.=)


**Remember to bring a camera (that's needed) and wear formal clothes for the picture...What do you need to do to have civil marriage in the Philippines?
You will need your passport and cetificate in lieu of legal capacity to marry from the EMbassy in Manila or the Cebu Consulate.


She will need her birth certicate, baranguay clearance and CENOMAR certificalte from NSO. ( Certificate of No Marriage).


Licence costs P2500 and you must be in the Philippines for 10 days to make it legal.





Don't think that getting married here automatically gives your new wife citizenship and she can hop on the next plane and go back stateside with you. It does not work that was. There is a ton of paperwork and requirements for her spousal visa and costs of at least $1,500 involved and it takes 9-12 months to process. Thats after you finally get the Marrige Licence from the NSO.





Maybe the K-3 (fiance visa) would be a better route for you ?What do you need to do to have civil marriage in the Philippines?
The list is pretty long and complicated if you don't have help. OR...If you can find the right solemnizing officer, about 300 bucks should take care of it all. I know a guy in Caloocan City can hook you up. Email me and I'll give you his contact info.
As long as both of you are already at a legal age, you just find a judge and pay a certain minimal amount and that's it.
First, you need to get someone to agree to marry you. After that, let her do all the legwork.
