Report of Marriage


The Family Code of the Philippines (Sec. 664) provides that “records of marriages whether performed by the Philippine Consular Officer or by the local religious or civil authorities shall be kept and transmitted to the Philippine Civil Registrar through the Department of Foreign Affairs”.

For Filipinos who married outside the Philippines, submit duly accomplished report of marriage (click here to download the form) and four (4) sets of the following:

  • Marriage certificate
  • Photocopy of the data page of the passports of both spouses

Affix your original signatures on each of the four forms, and ensure that your handwriting will be legible, if you will not input the text by computer (the PDF file has inputtable fields).

Filipinos whose marriage was solemnized by the Registry of Marriages of Singapore should report their marriage at the Philippine Embassy in Singapore within one year. Otherwise, an affidavit of late registration (with an affidavit fee of S$42.50) will also be required.
