If you were married in the UK (or anywhere abroad), you will need to report your marriage in the Philippine Embassy. This is to register your marriage record in the Philippines. The only embassy in the UK I know is in London (
6-11 Suffolk St, London SW1Y 4HG). Walk-in applicants are welcome in the embassy. I didn’t book an appointment prior to my visit. According to the official Philippine Embassy website, you need:
– Four (4) accomplished Report of Marriage forms
– Original and four (4) copies of the UK/Ireland Marriage Certificate
– Four (4) copies each of the data page of the spouses’ valid passports
– Four (4) copies of the Certificate of Naturalisation/Certificate of Citizenship, if the spouse/s already have foreign citizenship at the time of the filing of the Report (but were Filipino citizen/s at the time of marriage)
– Four (4) copies of the Affidavit of Delayed Registration of Marriage, if the Report of Marriage is being filed more than one (1) year after the marriage
– Original and four (4) copies of the Death Certificate/s of previous spouse/s, if the Filipino spouse is a widow/er at the time of the marriage being reported
– Original and four (4) copies of the annotated Philippine Marriage Certificate, if the Filipino spouse has had a previous marriage annulled or a foreign divorce recognised in a Philippine Court
As circumstances warrant, other documents may be required. Please refer to this website for more details.
Hello, I just got married 2 months ago in the UK. My husband is a British national, and we want to report our marriage to the embassy of the Philippines asap. Please may I know what the ‘four forms’ are and where to get them? Thank you very much!
