Where do you set the appointment online at the embassy
Sir, I saw a video that CENOMAR and LEGAL CAPACITY have to apostilled in DFA in the Philippines. How true is it Sir? Thank you.
Hello, this is not true. Apostilles are only needed in cases where one country needs to verify the authenticity of a document that originated in a foreign country (specifically when both countries are part of the Hague Convention). For instance, a birth certificate issued in the United States needs to be apostilled in order for it to be authenticated for use in the Philippines. In the case of the Legal Capacity to Marry Affadavit and the CENOMAR, both of these documents are originated and obtained in the Philippines; therefore, they do not need to be apostilled for use in the Philippines.
I had heard of guys getting their notary to prove you are single at a local lawyers office. 50 usd for notary service 🙂
Hello! I understand that local notary services were permitted during the COVID-19 pandemic under PSA Memorandum Circulars 2021-04, 2021-07, and 2022-12. However, Memorandum Circular 2023-16 discontinued the acceptance of locally notarized capacity-to-marry affidavits effective October 31, 2023.
💞 Awesome 💞
Hope that was an N95 mask haha joke na
🤣
I took your advice 😊 getting married in the Philippines 🇵🇭 this month thank you for all your help
Happy to help! Best wishes and congratulations on your upcoming marriage!
Beautiful view... Wow...... 720 steps..unbelivable..
Yes it's quite a climb, but definitely worth it!
do they ask for newly apposteled divorce decree or any documents from USA??
The spouse from the USA will want to have their birth certificate or any divorce decrees apostilled by their Secretary of State to ensure that they can be authenticated in the Philippines.
Sir question, i have a filipino bf he is american citizen not dual were planning to get married here in the philippines or we were apply for fiancee visa which one is good or quick process?
Hello, there are several things to consider when choosing between the fiance visa or spousal visa processes. In terms of being together sooner, the fiance visa is typically the quicker option; however, the exact timeframes for each type of visa can vary greatly.
Hello sir...how about my case i have a filipino bf but he is now an american citizen but not dual citizenship ...its the same process po ba and same requirements?
Hello, I am really not qualified to answer this and would highly suggest that you reach out to a professional to answer this for you. However, based on my knowledge if he is an American citizen, without dual citizenship, I believe he would follow the same process as described in the video. However, since he was born in the Philippines, and would have a Filipino birth certificate, he would not need to have his birth certificate apostilled.
Can you suggest an agency you use for spusal visa in the Philippines?
Hello, I have not personally used any agencies in the Philippines so I cannot speak from experience; however, I have heard good things from others about JRC Visa.
Same din po ba ang situation kapag yung fiancee ay pinanganak dito sa pilipinas pero US citizen na sya now, pero dito sila sa pilipinas magpapakasal ng fiance nya, same dn bang requirements ang kukunin? The certificate of legal capacity to marry?
Does he have dual citizenship? Or only American citizenship?
American Citizenship only.
American Citizenship only.
American Citizenship only@@phillipsinthephilippines
Hi! How long does it take to get the affidavit from the US Embassy in Manila? Thanks.
You will receive it immediately during the appointment at the embassy.
Hi me and my bf is planning to get married here in pH too this coming January 2025, I am so happy to see your video, and I swear it helps a lot, however can you pls send here the link where you scheduled your appointment with the embassy for my bf, he's an American too. I've tried several times looking for the link where he can schedule the appointment but it's leading me to a very far link or content.. can you plsss give us the link you used to schedule? Thank you, I hope you can see my comment.
Hello! Here is the link for setting up the appointment for the Embassy: evisaforms.state.gov/acs/default.asp?postcode=MNL&appcode=1
Hello Philips in the Philippines. Why a foreigner need to apply a CENOMAR? The Cenomar is a Philippines document for Filipino. REPUBLIC ACT NO. 386 AN ACT TO ORDAIN AND INSTITUTE THE CIVIL CODE OF THE PHILIPPINES PRELIMINARY TITLE CHAPTER 1 Effect and Application of Laws Article 15 civil law: Laws relating to family rights and duties, or to the status, condition and legal capacity of persons are binding upon citizens of the Philippines, even though living abroad. (9a) So why we non Filipino need a Cenomar if we already provide a Legal capacity of marriage? And for the divorced man: a court decision with Apostille and if needed an English translation. IF a foreigner get divorced from a Filipina, and the Filipina don't want to inform the Philippine Marriage registration office? The Foreigner man can never remarry because his CENOMAR says: You married. But the man divorced legally years ago. A lot problem, because the Ex Filipina wife was to lazy to inform het country that the marriage was over. CENOMAR IS NOT LEGAL FOR FOREIGNERS! We can't defend or do anything against scammers if your ex Filipina don't want you to remarry? she doesn't registratie her Divorce!
Hi! Did you schedule your counseling ahead of time before you arrived? Thanks!
Hello! I would HIGHLY suggest contacting your local civil registrar ahead of time to schedule the counseling appointment. We made the mistake of not doing this, and found out that our civil registrar only held counseling one day a week! Thankfully we were lucky and timed it right, but if we were off by a day or two whole process would have gotten delayed by a week.
Hi Sir, is having a civil and church wedding had a different process? If yes, which one is easiest?
Hello! You would follow the same process for a church wedding. The only difference is... after your have completed the marriage application process with your Civil Registrar, you would then reach out to church officials at the church you would like to hold the wedding at so that you can begin scheduling the date. Also, depending on the church, they may require additional faith based marriage counseling prior to the wedding. Taking these extra steps into consideration, I would say that a civil wedding is a slightly easier process, especially if there are constraints for how much time your fiancé has in the Philippines.
How lonv it will takes to ger the legal capacity to marry in US embassy
You will get receive it immediately during the appointment at the US Embassy or US Consular Agency.
Hello I'm getting married i land in November to December and I read you said the document online is the wrong one I got my appointment set but they didn't send anything beside the apoint ment papper
@@mikeniemi9395 Shoot me an email at phillipsinthephilippines@gmail.com. I can send you a PDF copy of the form that they gave me at the embassy.
Cute
Thank you 😊
Actually one more question regarding the tax certificate... does the resident of the US need to provide that on his behalf or is it just for his fiancé who lives in the philippines? And getting the documents Apostilled, you said their were 3, the birth certificate, the single status letter, and the passport? Just want to make sure i understood you correct.
That is only for the Filipina fiance, and this may or may not be asked for depending on which municipality you are getting married in. As for the apostille, you only need to get your birth certificate apostilled unless you have been married previously.. then you would want to have your divorce decree apostilled as well. The affidavit in lieu of certificate of capacity to marry and your passport do not need to be apostilled.
Very helpful, thank you! Just to verify, i did see a comment saying that the legal capacity to marry contract is issued the same day and there's no waiting period, am i correct on that?
Yes, that is correct!
It has come to my attention that the US Embassy webpage for downloading the sample affidavit template is no longer working. If anyone needs a copy of the template, please email me at phillipsinthephilippines@gmail.com.
Hi I have a question. The template page is working again and I went ahead and printed it. The template they have has the blank areas already filled out with what they expect you to write in them such as “name” and “DOB” and “CITY/STATE/COUNTRY” etc. I just downloaded the template and used the “mark up” app on my iPad to carefully white out/erase those prefilled answers and then printed it out. Do you think there would be any problem using their printed template this way to get my affidavit at the embassy? Or do they expect you to type up your own or to write out your own? I don’t know how particular they are with this type of thing. I’d call the embassy and ask but I don’t know how to since I’m still in the states. Thanks in advance!
Hello! Good to know that the template is working again. I just checked and the template is a fillable PDF, meaning you should be able to click on each field and enter your own information within the PDF viewer before printing it out. I just checked to see and it works with Adobe Acrobat. If this isn't working for you, you might try to use a different PDF viewer. Alternatively, I can send you a copy with the text removed if you shoot me an email. In general, I wouldn't be too worried about this as they aren't very strict about it. I had an outdated version of template when I went there and they just provided me a new one at the Embassy.
@@phillipsinthephilippines Hello there, I was just wondering the appointment system in the USEM Manila to get this legal capacity to marry docs, I was the one who booked the appointment since my fiance is still in the US. Is this right, I clicked in the ''Request notarial and other services not listed above'' since there isn't any options for the actual Legal Capacity to Marry? Thanks in advance for answering.
@@gndtmpl Hello, yes that is correct!
@@phillipsinthephilippines appreciate your response. Thank you 🤍
I was over to the Philippines, February 2024 right after you and I’m happy you shared this information but it takes a long time says for a Filipino blogger with lawyer and such but yet it’s cheaper for lawyer over there. I’m pretty sure my paperwork together for I don’t know how to do that. I tried it once I messed it up friend of mine said better not do it again that way too many times he’s married to Philippine woman about 10 years ago. I live in the United States, my friend, my friend Relative reached out to me ago so I came to Philippines a year later now I’m hoping to get better finance going then getting married to spring 2025
One question now though is it better to get a lawyer and just stay in the United States and have her come over here on a visa fiancé which way is quicker which way is least expensive, which is the best way to feel of your own opinion I don’t make a lot of money soI’m not high wage man
Hello, is it required to go to the embassy in person? Or is it possible to submit the documents online or send the papers, and there's no need to go to the embassy?
As far as I know, it is required to visit the embassy in person as the affidavit must be signed in front of the Embassy official (who serves as a witness).
@@phillipsinthephilippines Thanks po.
What happens if The Secretary of State office says that they don’t apostle birth certificates and only passports? Is that going to be an issue in the Philippines?
That sounds strange as it is fairly common practice to have birth certificates apostilled. What state do you live in?
@@phillipsinthephilippines Washington State
There is a phone number listed on the Secretary of State website under the section titled "Washington State Center for Vital Statistics". This section specifically mentions apostilles for birth certificates, so hopefully this can get you in contact with the right department: www.sos.wa.gov/corporations-charities/apostilles-program/apostille-document-guidelines
@@phillipsinthephilippines Than you. I’ll take a look.
Kasal Namin ng fiancee ko ngayung February problema ko Etong certificate of legal capacity, kailangan Niya paba eto kunin kahit may papel n Siya na nagpapatunay na Hindi pa Siya na kasal Kahit kailan
Yes they are pretty strict about this. Is he from the US? If so, he will need to obtain it from the US Embassy in Manila or the US Consular office in Cebu City.
Im dreading this starting the process of getting my gf to the uk our immigration is a joke she's coming legally so its harder 🥲
Thats too much damn information!! You do better being COMMONLAW!!!!
Yeah it's quite a process 🤣
Good luck with the marriage!!! I wish you well!!!!
If i had to go thru all that bullshit to get married then there wouldnt be a marriage!!! If they cant come to America to get married then they wont be married!! Simply put they fucked!! It doesnt take all that to get married!! Fuck that shit!!!!
For the Affidavit do you have to show your divorce decree and does it need to be apostilled? If so since mine was stapled and sealed by the Secretary of State do I need 2? Thanks again for the information.
I cannot speak from experience, but from what I have researched the short answer is yes, you will want to bring your divorce decree and make sure that is apostilled (otherwise they may not be able to verify it's authenticity oversees). You only need to get the the official copy apostilled and then you can bring a photocopy or two with you in case you need to submit a photocopy when you apply for the marriage license.
Marty her but don't bring her to usa guys 😂 buy you a house in usa and then put house in your siblings or another family members name then move to Philippines lol 😂😆😆😆
Thank you for the video. I am hoping to Marry in March of 2025
Hope it helped! Congrats, best of luck!
Thanks for yhe video. Its made me realise that paying an agent to manage the process is money well spent 😂
🤣
Oh my God. I want to get married to my Filipina next February. This is all bullshit. I can only go over for 2 weeks at a time. Looks like I won't be able to do it all. I'm just going to break up with her after 7 years. Thanks for the heads up.
Congrats! From Philippine. I Hope I can find a genuine love and care too. Someone who is loyal, respectful and won't insult me.
Thank you 😊, I am sure you will find the right person for you!
Hi sir,if he is already divorce in the USA then he wanted to marry me here in the Philippines. What are the requirements except a divorce paper??
Hello, I believe that he will have to have his divorce papers (decrees) apostilled at his local Secretary of State office along with his birth certificate. He will need to bring the divorce paperwork to the US Embassy when he goes to get the Affidavit in Lieu of Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry as they will need to document that he has been previously married.
Omg am I trying to get married or become the president of the country
🤣
my filipina might have said go down and find your ring and dont come up until you find it😂😂😂😂😂 just joking. i dont know what she would have said. i will ask
Too funny 🤣. I am just glad it was my ring and not hers... I would have spent the rest of my trip searching for it hahaha
@@phillipsinthephilippines hahahaha
why not just get married once you move to the Philippines.
Hi! Watch the videos and congratulations to both of you. Have some questions though. My fiance is from Ohio and we've been dating for almost 3 years now. Planning to get married here in the Philippines as it is much less complicated and cheap compared to getting married in the US. He said as per US immigration policy (he searched thru their website) that there should be a 30-day contact. He did come here just last week for 6 days (1st time). Now, I'm currently processing my documents for me to be able to fly to Ohio and spent at least a month there just to comply to that "30-day contact". Is the "30-day contact" really a requirement in US? Any advice you can give us will be very appreciated. Thank you and wish you both all the best!
Thank you very much.
@@conniehutalla4755 Glad to help 😊
Hi What step deals with the prenup if you choose to have one?
Hello, I believe they would be dealt with during the marriage application process with your local Civil Registrar.
Thank you for this invaluable experience. I am in the same situation. 3 weeks is stretching it for me. I am afraid of not finishing and getting stressed out.
Glad you found it helpful! It is stressful, but definitely doable. Hope everything goes well for you, and congratulations on your future marriage!
Hi, I'm a little confused about having two copies of everything. Do I need to pay to have two original/certified birth cerificates and then pay to have both of those apostilled? Do I also pay to have two copies of my passport ID page notarized? Or, do I just get one certified and apostilled birth certificate and one copy of my passport notarized and then just make photocopies of those after the fact? Sorry and thank you, this is all a bit confusing for me haha.
Hello! When I say bring 2 or 3 copies of each document with you, I just mean regular photocopies. They will want to see the originals, and may ask to hang on to a copy of two when you apply for the marriage license. So you will just need one certified & apostilled birth certificate, and a few photocopies of the birth certificate and the apostille page. Same with the passport ID page, just some regular photocopies will do. You don't need to have to it notorized.
@@phillipsinthephilippines Thank you very much for answering, I really appreciate it!

Does stamp from the original copy of the American birth certificate acceptable for legal purpose? Or still needs to get it apostilled? We're so confused. Bc most of the resources they don't ask, I mean it's not indicated.. we really need your help we are so confused rn. Bc my American boyfriend is having a hard time getting an appointment with their governor's office in Hawaii.
From my research and experience getting married there, the birth certificate needs to be apostilled to prove to the Civil Registrar's office that the certificate is authentic. I cannot tell you for certain that every Civil Registrar office will be strict about this, but you would not want to run into issues if they do not accept the birth certificate... perhaps you could contact the specific office that you plan to apply for the marriage license at and ask them if they will accept the birth certificate without the apostille?
@@phillipsinthephilippines thank you so much Philip!!! This is really really helpful. But what about at the US embassy do they ask for an apostilled legal documents? I'm sorry we really have a lot of questions in mind. 😅 But it's just you who mentioned about apostille documents among other videos about getting married in the Philippines here on TH-cam. Your video is really detailed and so clear. This is really really a big help for us Filipino - American couple who wants to be as one. ❤️
@@kidzone398 You're very welcome 🤗! No, the embassy does not require any documents to be apostilled. He will simply need to bring his passport and appointment confirmation sheet to the embassy (also divorce documents if applicable) to receive the affidavit for capacity to marry. No worries at all, feel free to ask any questions that come up, I am glad to help! 😊
