Question apparently refers to the Manila embassy, so thread is moved from the Embassy/Consulate forum to the Philippines regional forum.

1st day went to Embassy and got affidavit. I had all my documents including printed appointment page in a pouch. I left it in the car as my driver went off to park. No problem, just showed them my passport and they looked up my appointment and let me in. I was back out in less than an hour. One thing I will say is that Manila bay smells like a sewage treatment plant yuck!

I posted this last month after I got home. Most importantly make sure you make your appointment online before you go.

I just went through the same process last month. I am also from Hawaii  Here is what I did.

I landed in the evening in Manila. We stayed that night in a hotel close to the embassy. Went to the embassy in the morning (MAKE SURE YOU HAVE APPOINTMENT). I went into the embassy, took a number and waited. They called my number and gave me a form to fill out that I said I am legally able to marry. Turned it in and waited again. They called me back up to to the window where I had to swear to the fact that everything I wrote on the form was true. Then I paid the fee and they gave me the certificate. The entire process took 1 hour.

 

Then back to the hotel and check out and off to my asawa's province and to the local registar. We had all the things that we needed and applied for our license. The license takes 10 working days (2 weeks if no holidays). Just make sure that you have everything that your local registar requires before going there so that you have no delays. We needed both of our birth certificates, ID (we both had passports), I needed divorce decree and she needed sedula. I think that was it. After we applied we also scheduled to be married. We chose to do it with a judge. What we did not know is that they only do civil ceremonies on Wednesdays at her municipal. So that delayed when we originally planned on getting married by a few days. That is why it is important to actually go to your municipal and ask them all requirements and when they can perform the ceremony as soon as you can so you can properly plan. 

 

After to 2 week wait for the license we went back and confirmed our wedding day the next following Wednesday. We went back and got married and then party, party. 

 

Good luck I hope that helps!

Government ID card/CENOMAR/birth certificate

It's municipality requirements for civil wedding so that you both can get marriage license 

 

For the filipina fiancé this is what her requirements:

Brgy Clearance

birth certificate NSO

Cenomar both of you NSO/PSA

Sedula

 That's it

It's a Filipino thing that I still don't understand much. I have read differing definitions of it. However it costs 50 pesos and takes 5 minutes so no big deal.

Foreigners can't get a CENOMAR and that is why they need the "affidavit of lieu legal capacity to contract marriage" which takes the place of CENOMAR. Also municipalities are different in some requirements that's why I always advise having the Filipino/Filipina go there and check first to be 100% sure. My wife's also required us to go do a seminar about marriage. We could pay a fee and not do it if we wanted. It takes several hours and I said I would rather just pay the fee. However since she has very good friends there they just took us in a room for about 15 minutes and we just talked and they stamped us as taking the seminar.

 

As for the affidavit of lieu legal capacity to contract marriage, yes I got that in 1 hour. That is not a problem at all as long as you have an appointment. Your real worry should be getting back to your province as soon as possible after getting the affidavit so that you can apply for license. That's also why making sure that you have everything that you will need when you get to your local civil registar in Ormoc. Also find out when they perform civil ceremonies. My wife's municipal only performs them on Wednesdays.

The municipality of ormov town required me to get a cenomar to prove that we have no record and we both not married in philippines country,

my fiancé will get me cenomar behalf myside she just do online only at PSA helpline then she registered my name and my parents name but after she finish online she pay either metro bank or bdo branch connecting to PSA then 2days later she received the cenomar both  her and mine but before that the delivery man ask her where is my I'd and my fiancé say I don't have his I'd photo copy and so she call me and ask permission first if I allowed her then the delivery man can hear me what I say!!! Yes then he gave it to here and she receive!!!

the municipality required me this documents

 

 

 

Birth Certificate

Passport arrival stamp photocopy

affidavit of lieu legal capacity to contract marriage,

then my divorce papers 

and cenomar but my fiancé had it already 

 

 

So I had my requirements and prepare

except the certificate of affidavit legal capacity to contract marriage

[Apasjanice 1]

Yes I know if we have the requirements complete we have to go similar for two days while waiting for the posting 10 days before we receive the marriage license
