Do I need a CENOMAR to get married in the Philippines?

[criddle2012]

Looking at the small print, it appears that my girlfriend would need a passport?

c below

• birth certificate
• CENOMAR with details matching those on birth certificate and, if name/etc on birth certificate differs from passport, another CENOMAR matching the details on the passport. This will not be required for widowed/annulled applicant
• If applicable, original passport
• If divorced, present the original divorce decree absolute
• If annulled, please present the following documents:
O Advisory of Marriage Record (CRS Form 5) in lieu of a CENOMAR
O Certificate of Finality and full court documents, including decision
O Marriage certificate, with proper annotation declaring the marriage null and void
• If widow/widower, present death certificate of deceased spouse, and include the following documents:
O Advisory of Marriage Record (CRS Form 5) in lieu of a CENOMAR
O Marriage certificate with proper annotation declaring, if applicable, the presumptive death of spouse


Also my girlfriend is 21, so she will need to bring written parental consent to the embassy?

My wife required parental consent as she was 23. Her mom came and signed at the city hall, not the embassy.

Why do you think she needs a passport? Just because you are getting married, does not necessarily mean she wants to move to the uk. There are other ways of providing ID

because in the small print checklist (that the embassy produces) for the finance. It says to bring 'passport if applicable'.

'passport if applicable'.

if she does not have one, you have answered your question

If it is an embassy document that you are quoting from, just to be sure, just send them an email. But word it in such a way that they cant possibly come back with the wrong answer. Or even give them a call.
