Since the OP has a month to go for their passport apt, they should file quick for the ROM and have the Cert in hand when they go. 

You can do it in the same trip.

@Highmystic just like @Paul & Mary said it can be done the same day if done in person.

Our ROM was sent Saturday,  delivered to the consulate yesterday,  processed and is on its way today.  Will arrive Saturday.  1 week.

I was told by the consulate here in Toronto that I have to report it here because we got married here. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Exactly you have to do it with the consulate that covers the jurisdiction of where you got married.

Thank You everyone.  I will do the ROM at the same time as renewing my passport.  I don't need a special appointment or anything?  If I send off now - it says it takes 6 months to get Cert.

My wife (has green card) needs to get her PI passport renewed.  We have an appt. in LA for the end of July.  I reading thru some stuff I got confused.

"In case of woman married in the U.S.: one (1) original and one (1) photocopy of the Report of Marriage (ROM) issued less than a year by the Philippine Consulate where the marriage took place. If ROM is more than 1 year old, bring original and photocopy of PSA ROM. In case of woman married in the Philippines: one (1) original or certified true copy and one (1) photocopy of Marriage Contract duly authenticated by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA)"

 

We were married in US 4 years ago. Were we supposed to tell someone in the Philippines that she got married & that is the PSA ROM they want, or do they want the Ceomar that says she was single & so she was available to get married?

 

It looks like they want nothing in advance - but we are driving 6 hours to get to consulate, so I want it right the first time...

 

They want the PSA Marriage Certificate ... ROM   (Not a CENOMAR)

You may need an appt, contact the consulate on this as some do some don't.   And yes you can complete both during the same visit; do complete the ROM process before heading to the passport renewal appt.    Also some consulates want you to email copies of the documents to them before the actual appt.

Thanks, but I have another dilemma & no one can set me straight. I am 4 years behind in doing my ROM.  Fine, I'll pay the extra fee, but as of  May15 all notarized papers have to be Apostilled.

 

I went to the local place in North Las Vegas & was told that she could Apostille our Marriage Cert, because we were married here in Vegas, but couldn't certify my wife's or my birth Cert. - yes they are originals.  Furthermore, even though my 2 divorce papers were originals, she needed a Certified Original before she would Apostille.  And the divorce original from North Carolina she wouldn't do at all.

 

The icing on the cake was that they only accept the Apostille applications on Fridays and it takes a week or more to get back.

 

I was planning on being one of the first in lines at 9am for my ROM & pray they can get it done & back to me so I can make 4 copies, in time for a 12:16 appointment for the Passport.  I checked - they are at 2 different windows.  On line they said ROM's processed between 9-12 can be picked up by 3pm.  That is way too late.   Am I just screwed?

We just did our ROM and notarized but apostilled nothing

I could be wrong but I don't think it applies to the ROM.  We did ours in June

I assume you are going to LA.  While it says 3pm, they should be quicker than that.  There are not that many filing ROMs at the LA consulate in person.  We were there at 9, and it took maybe an 1.5 hours.  They called us to pick it up.
