Reporting marriage to the Phil Consulate

[Blue Bianchi 77]

You CAN renew your passport if you've opted to keep your name.

That question will be answered when you try and renew your Filipino passport. You won't be able to.

But if you become a USC then there is no need for a Filipino passport so no need to file your ROM.

I know ur asking this to the OP ..but i had recently filed/reported mine which is already 21 months past since the wedding took place, which at this time it requires an explanation of 'late' registry - (not penalty)... but they didn't asked/required the so called 'explanation letter'. 2 weeks later we received in the mail our "report of marriage" copy (2 copies). You can either mail your report of marriage application direct to the consulate or go file personally. We went to the consulate ourselves.

PH Consulate San Francisco requirements:

5 copies of Marriage Certificate

5 copies of MY Birth Certificate

5 pictures each for wife & hubby

5 copies (each) of Identification (eg.passport, DL, State ID) of wife & hubby

$25.00 filing fee

Self-stamped return envelop

check your area as sometimes requirements varies.

Btw, Happy wedding!!

that number of copies of whatever they want is excessive as for other requirements. IMO I really wouldn't want to bother....

Can't report it in the Phils.

 

You MUST report your marriage to the consulate that represents the state where you were married, this can be done by mail.
