I went to the Philippines to get married and arrived Oct 11. Went to the US Embassy in Cebu and got affidavit on Oct 15. Got the application filed at the clerk on Oct 18. The 10-day waiting period would have been up on Oct 29, but that was voting day so we could not get it until Oct 30. Oct 30 I was to be on a plane back to the US. We have friends in the city government and the got the application released on Oct 18 and we had a pastor perform the wedding on Oct 29. Our aunt file the paperwork and we got the marriage license on Nov 20 but it says we can now get married within the next 120 days.

The problem we have is that the marriage license needs to be dated on or before the date of the wedding Oct 30. has anyone ever dealt with this type of an issue. Any ideas.

If we can not get the date on the Marriage License changed then our wedding is void.

I got the application released early. We got married on Oct 29 and post dated the application for Oct 30 the date it would have been released. When our aunt went to file the papers we where given the marriage license then and it waid we can now get married within the 120 days or the marriage license is void. We are already married,

The problem is that we have the marriage license given to us later and it the date states we can get married after Nov 20 then the marriage was premature. It can not be filed. Has this ever happened to anyone or do you have any ideas how to get the date on the application or marriage license changed.

Sorry it was not the marriage application we had released but the marriage certificate and the marriage was solemnized but we did not have the marriage license yet. Artical 35(3) of the Philippine Law states following marriages shall be void from the beginning: (3) Those solemnized without license

OK, I understand, There were several typo errors on my marraige certificate so I took it back to my friend in the city government where it was issued and she fixed it right up. It sounds like you forgot to pick up the license before you were married and it was dated when the aunt picked it up instead of after the ten days. I take it since it was a holiday your friend was unable to pick up the license. I thought the license could be released on the 10th day. Talk to your friend and see if she can help you ..

That is what we are trying to do, but if we can't then I will just do a fiancee petition so all is not lost.

That may be a good idea,, the clerk will have the receipt dated when your aunt paid for the license. You could go back and get married again.

If your document says you must get married within 120 days then it is not your marriage certificate. A filipino marriage certificate will say Office Of The Civil Register General and Certificate of Marriage at the top. Did you, your wife, witnesses such as ninongs and ninangs, and Pastor sign the Marriage Certificate?

I suggest your spouse check with the Local Civil Registry for mistakes. Ours had mistakes and a new one had to be signed by everyone and FedExed to me to sign.

I hope this helps.

You clearly aren't married. Not legally anyway. It sounds like you were really trying hard to rush the wedding and got married before you're legally allowed.

You'll have to file a K-1 and get married again here in the US.

A bit off-topic but it might be helpful to those USC thinking of getting married in the P.I.

19 days ain't enough. There's so many things involved. You'll need a "legal capacity to marry" from US embassy, marriage license, 10 day waiting period, marriage seminars, etc. And this is just for civil weddings. You'll need a lot more docs if you're thinking of church wedding.

There's a helpful link here.

That's one option. The other is to return to the PI and marry. It's really up to them.
