Report of Marriage Form ( Question )

[Dean_De 61]

Hi Everyone,

I am about to fill out the ROM form. Question:

1. For the info's on Wife - I assume it's the maiden name (?) that is being asked.

2. Age - is it the age when you got married or the current age as you file the form?

3. Citizenship - for my USC spouse - do I have to place USA ?

4. Residence - is it the current residence or the residence when you got married? ( I am asking coz we are now living in a different state from where we got married ). Do I have to place the full address or just the state is ok ( i.e Florida, USA)

5 Name of witness: Do we have to provide 4 different witness and get their address? 4 because there's like witness 1 & 2 for husband and another witness 1& 2 for wife.

6. Civil status- is this the civil status before getting married?

Sorry to ask - I just want to be sure that I am providing the correct info. I can't see any instructions for this form.

Thank you!

PPS.....we have been married since 2011 and I am just reporting it - do we have to send a letter ( notraized ) explaining why we just reported our marriage now? To those who reported late - what was a good reason - I was in hiatus on this just because I was lolz

Maiden name for your wife. Current age. Civil status was before you were married. Current residence, city-state (?) (form is different from when we filed) they ask further down the form what state you were married. Witnesses - provide the names for the witnesses you had... their names should be on your marriage license.

Hello, can I ask question too? I was confused because the latest website of philippine consulate in Washington, D.C. Doesn't require 4 passport size photo for both of us but the others says that it is a requirement? Which should I based my requirements? And why I can't open the for for report of marriage it says URL not found. Thank you.

You go by the requirements for the consulate representing the state you live in.

Thank you so much. Is it ok if I only put the 2 witness on my husband side and N/A on mine. And the witnesses are not in my marriage license.

Good Day Mr. hank, just want to confirm about the age? You said use the current, right? Coz somebody told me that it should be the age before marriage... And another question sir, if it's current my birthday is on Jan. 26 and I want to submit my ROM before 26, should I put the age that I will be turning on the 26th or before? TIA

[Hank_ 9,173]

Your current age.

The age should be your age at the time of marriage.

1. That area of the form, where the ID and Foreign Service Post is, is for the Embassy to fill in. You can leave those blank.
2. Just add N/A to those blanks where they are asking for the witness' names. I would attach a note that only the signatures appear on your marriage certificate and that there is no printed name available.
