I got that from http://www.pinoyhenyo.com/What_are_t...182641728.html. Are these info correct or anything more to add? Regarding number 4 requirement Marriage license: this can be obtained from the civil authorities; or a Marriage Contract if already married with the civil registry number, can I get it alone or it must be the two of us? And if I can, how? Do I just need to go to the civil registrar's office and tell them I wanna get a marriage license or do they need some requirements too..Hayyy, seems very confusing but this forum has been a great help for both of us..Thanks Penny Barry
