Im 23 years old..attended CFO Sept.9 at PRISM..they didnt ask me parent consent.People at PRISM are nice dont worry.

Hi Gurl, you can ask the CFO office about this cause you will need their certificate too. better call the office first so no hassle when you get back to Manila.take care.. I think you can get the parental consent at Local civil registrar office..

I am trying to find out under what age the Parental Consent letter is needed in the Philippines. I was reading on this forum that the CFO required the letter for anyone under 24.

Thanks,

Hi check this site: http://travel.state.gov/law/citizenship/citizenship_757.html

THE MARRIAGE APPLICATION PROCESS:

Once the person has the affidavit, he/she can file the application for a marriage license at the office of the local Philippine Civil Registrar of the town or city where one of the parties is a resident. The U.S. citizen applicant will need to present the affidavit, death certificate or divorce decree as mentioned above, U.S. passport, and documentation regarding parental consent or advice if applicable. Marriage applicants who are age 18 to 21 must have parental consent in writing, those age 21 to 25 must have written parental advice (a written indication that the parents are aware of the couple's intent to marry). The revised Family Code of the Philippines, which took effect on August 4, 1988, prohibits marriage for individuals below the age of 18.

Normally there is a ten-day waiting period before the marriage license is issued by the registrar's office. In some instances the fiancée may apply in advance for the marriage license with the local civil registrar. The American citizen must then obtain the affidavit of legal capacity upon arrival in the Philippines and file it immediately with the civil registrar where the fiancée applied for the marriage license. A marriage license cannot be obtained by a fiancée without presence of the prospective spouse.

The marriage can be performed by a judge, justice of the peace, priest, or minister of religion.

Hi there..I attended CFO Sept.9..they didnt ask me a parent consent.I'm 23 years old.People at PRISM are nice.

AS I said. CFO is NOT consistent AT ALL. My wife met a 23 year old from Baguio who was send home to get the consent letter.

GET THE LETTER IF YOU ARE CLOSE TO BEING 24.
