Notarized Letter of Parents Advice

[ninjup 0]

I am coming to the Philippines to get married in a few weeks. Both of us are between 21 and 25. Do I, as the foreigner, need the notarized letter of parents advice? My mom, dad, and I live in different places in the United States, and getting all of us in the same room to sign the form and get it notarized might be a little difficult. I already have setup an appointment at the US Embassy to get the legal capacity to marry, and I think the notarized letter is the only other thing that I need. 

 

Thanks!

oh dude same here, Im 23 and fiance is 21! I thought letter of parents advice was only needed by the beneficiary for the CFO session ?

A consent/advice letter is needed to get married.  

 

Doubt the requirement applies to foreigners though .. just don't know for fact.

 

** From the Family Code of the Philippines**
 
It states;  21-25 years old for advice and 18-21 years old for consent.

The attorney you are going to use for the notary will probably have the form handy.   (The notary is an attorney in the Phils)

 

And there are link to the forms from Quezon City  that you could use for a template on this link (about half way down the page)   http://www.visaconnection-philippines.com/cfo-orientation-seminar.html

Ah ... details emerge.    You are getting married in California?   Then why do you need the advice to marry form?   I didn't know California asks for this.     (that advice to marry form is for the Philippines)

More details ..

 

Are your parents in California?  If yes, then you should contact the consulate about this, so you can get this complete before flying back to the Phils.

 

I checked the link I gave you earlier .. the Advice/Consent letters are no longer online.

So probably I have to go to philippine consulate personally and ask for a form? I was wondering if I can just get it from attorney

You could contact an attorney in the Philippines and ask them.
