[tweetmeme source=”ibethyap”] It’s fairly easy to apply for a marriage license in the city of Manila. It even gets easier when the couple is older. There are lesser requirements. For 28 years old, we are only required to attend 1 seminar regarding family planning. As for the requirements? (1) NSO Birth Certificate (2) 1 Valid ID and xerox copy of the ID
For the process, it was easy. I’ll lay it down for easy reference
1. Around 8 AM – visit the Manila City Hall Civil Registry to get an application form. You have to fill up the application letter twice, as there’s no carbonated forms. Kalvin visited City Hall earlier to get the form and pay for the fee of 120 Php. You can also do that so that you can fill up the forms at home. Ensure that the details filled up in the form coincidence with that of the birth certificate including parents nationality.
2. At 8:30 AM – proceed to Room 128 for the seminar. You would need to proceed to the mezzanine in the room for the actual seminar. You would be required to present the application form, receipt for 120 Php and they would provide a new form with control number per couple. You need to write twice also… no carbonated forms. You would also need to sign 2 folders. (1) Couple signature and address is necessary. (2) You need to disclose the type of contraceptives you are using. 2 folders for this, one for male and another for female.
3. At 9 AM – the seminar will start with a film showing. (1) Importance of letting a baby grow in a healthy environment. For the faint hearted, please note that there are some gory images in the video showing: actual labor via normal delivery. There was no warning, they focused the camera on the female thing immediately, it was disgusting that I almost fainted. (2) Abortion – I was able to view this during high school. It showed the ultrasound of the baby while undergoing abortion. This is also disgusting. After the film showing, I can’t feel my legs anymore.
A counselor talked after the film showing, giving tips on how to have a happy marriage. Some of the stuffs discussed are printed in the tarp.
4. Around 9:30 AM – you need to go back to the Civil Registry to submit the forms. An employee would be checking the details of the application form. After which, you would be sent to Mrs. Dela Cruz in the admin for the oath-taking. You need to take an oath for the information you have indicated in the forms.
After the oath, you are done! 10 days processing and you will receive the marriage license for you to sign in the church during the actual wedding.
Tips to make the trip easier:
1. Ask for directions on how to locate Rm 128. It’s in the farthest area. From the entrance, go straight second to the last entrance turn right and go all the way to the back of the building.
2. If you find a comfort room, try using it, there are a few comfort room in the location. It’s a bit far from the seminar room.
3. There’s no waiting area. To kill time, you may stay at the bureau of permit area. They have aircon, TV and chairs. It’s located across the wing.
4. Despite the instruction saying the registration is opened at 8AM, outside the door, it’s indicated it would start at 8:30 AM.
Happy marriage license applying couples!
very informative.. same din po ba pag sa pasig or sa kahit saang city hall? sabi kasi nila ini-schedule daw ang seminar e? is it every day?

pwede isa lng magapply pero both kailangan sa seminar. pwede rin isa lng ang kumuha. isisign yung form ah. so kung both nakasign na pwede isa lng magasikaso

When is d best date to process the marriage license if d wedding is on june 3? How many days will it be process? thanks
best time is 3 months before the wedding
How many days ang waiting period para makapagpakasal. At how many days din ang waiting period bago makuha ang license,
within 3 months dapat yung license. to get the license, super tagal. actually depends sa church
pag sa civil ln po mgpapakasal,,do we still nid to wait for 10 days b4 kme ikasal ng judge?? or ryt after nun seminar pde na kme mgproceed sa civil weds?? 26 and 29 yrs old na po kme..thanx
requirement ang marriage license sa kasal. after the seminar, hindi naman kayo agad issuehan ng lisensya. may posting nga na 10 days. after that, at saka ilalabas ang lisensya. at saka lang kayo pwede magpakasal.\
Hello po. Hope u can help me. Si bf nasa abroad and ako nandito sa Pilipinas. Pwede ba na ako lang muna ang magfile ng marriage license? Sa pagfile ba ng marriage license, pwedeng ako lang ang umattend ng seminar? Then after 10 days makukuha ko na yung marriage license namin? O kailangan dalawa kami aattend ng family planning seminar? I am 25 and he is 50.
I hope for your speedy reply. GOD BLESS!
hi i just wanna ask my fiance and i were plan to go to philippines to get married but we only have 10 days holiday we are both working in qatar is it possible to get a married license within this days?

Thanks for this comprehensive info. Is CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage) no longer necessary? I saw some posts that says we have to present one. Thanks!
we used the cenomar in the church. not sure if city hall needs it
hi,
ask ko lang if ok to file ang marriage license without attending the seminar? fiancee will arrive 7 days before the wedding. thanks or do you have application form?
pwede ata kumuha ng license and then to follow yung seminar. sayang lng time kasi twice ka pa babalik
hello. nagtanong ako sa city hall and sabi ng babae sa desk ay kailangan daw both couple ay present s pagkuha ng license dahil merong silang oath taking. similar case din ba ang sa inyo. thanks.
yes ganun nga. pero pagpick up ng license pwede isa lng
mam ung oath taking po diba ibang iba pa yun don sa ikakasal na talaga ng mayor?
Pwedi po ba na relatives ang mag pick up ng marriage license?
hello po..thanks for a very informative note..
I would just like to ask will it still be ok to get the license by this month if the wedding is by december???medyo gahol po kc s time ang preparations..thanks..:)
kaya naman as long as di sya 1st week ng December
just make sure hindi expired ang license ninyo sa date ng kasal. remember the license is good for only 120 days,
Did it really take 10 days to get the license?thx
if i remember correctly yes… they would indicate the time on when it is available in the claim stub or something. then you just have to go back and get it
I currently residing here in U.S. .is there anything I can do as far as classes here. do they have on liner classes, can they also send me an application by mail, or I have to be there.
