For the Affidavit do you have to show your divorce decree and does it need to be apostilled? If so since mine was stapled and sealed by the Secretary of State do I need 2? Thanks again for the information.

@phillipsinthephilippines18 күн бұрын
Hello, I believe that he will have to have his divorce papers (decrees) apostilled at his local Secretary of State office along with his birth certificate. He will need to bring the divorce paperwork to the US Embassy when he goes to get the Affidavit in Lieu of Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry as they will need to document that he has been previously married.

Hi! Watch the videos and congratulations to both of you. Have some questions though. My fiance is from Ohio and we've been dating for almost 3 years now. Planning to get married here in the Philippines as it is much less complicated and cheap compared to getting married in the US. He said as per US immigration policy (he searched thru their website) that there should be a 30-day contact. He did come here just last week for 6 days (1st time). Now, I'm currently processing my documents for me to be able to fly to Ohio and spent at least a month there just to comply to that "30-day contact". Is the "30-day contact" really a requirement in US? Any advice you can give us will be very appreciated. Thank you and wish you both all the best!

Hi, I'm a little confused about having two copies of everything. Do I need to pay to have two original/certified birth cerificates and then pay to have both of those apostilled? Do I also pay to have two copies of my passport ID page notarized? Or, do I just get one certified and apostilled birth certificate and one copy of my passport notarized and then just make photocopies of those after the fact? Sorry and thank you, this is all a bit confusing for me haha.
@phillipsinthephilippinesАй бұрын
Hello! When I say bring 2 or 3 copies of each document with you, I just mean regular photocopies. They will want to see the originals, and may ask to hang on to a copy of two when you apply for the marriage license. So you will just need one certified & apostilled birth certificate, and a few photocopies of the birth certificate and the apostille page. Same with the passport ID page, just some regular photocopies will do. You don't need to have to it notorized.

Does stamp from the original copy of the American birth certificate acceptable for legal purpose? Or still needs to get it apostilled? We're so confused. Bc most of the resources they don't ask, I mean it's not indicated.. we really need your help we are so confused rn. Bc my American boyfriend is having a hard time getting an appointment with their governor's office in Hawaii.
@phillipsinthephilippinesАй бұрын
From my research and experience getting married there, the birth certificate needs to be apostilled to prove to the Civil Registrar's office that the certificate is authentic. I cannot tell you for certain that every Civil Registrar office will be strict about this, but you would not want to run into issues if they do not accept the birth certificate... perhaps you could contact the specific office that you plan to apply for the marriage license at and ask them if they will accept the birth certificate without the apostille?

I would check first with the municipality that you are planning to register for your marriage license at. Most municipalities require apostilled documents because they have no way of authenticating documents from foreign countries. Although, it is possible that some municipalities could be more strict on this than others... so it is worth a shot to reach out and ask.

Thank you, glad you found it helpful! If you have a US passport you should be able to follow the same process at the US Embassy to get the affidavit in lieu of certificate of capacity to marry. Yes you will need to bring your original birth certificate; however, if it is not already apostilled you may want to hire a document authentication agency in the US to help you facilitate the apostille process. I believe birth certificates can only be apostilled in the country of origin.
