How to get a Legal Capacity to Marry in the Philippines if your fiancé is an American Citizen

How to get a Legal Capacity to Marry in the Philippines if your fiancée is an American Citizen What and why is this document needed?
The Philippine Government requires all foreigners to provide a “Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage” from his/her embassy before filing for a marriage license. This certification affirms that there are no legal impediments to the foreigner marrying a Filipino (i.e., that the foreigner is already married to someone else). Unlike the Philippines and many other foreign countries, the U.S. Government does not keep a central statistical registry for births, marriages and deaths and cannot verify this information.
How and where can you get it?
Embassy in MANILA :
Book an appointment
Print the confirmation of your appointment
Bring it to the U.S. Embassy upon the appointment
Consular Agency in CEBU:
Cebu’s consular agency is a Walk-in, first-come/first-served basis each day from 8:30 – 10:30 AM for different transactions.

• All divorce decrees or death certificates that show the U.S. citizen is free to marry
• Valid U.S. passport
• Bring $50 in cash (or Philippine Peso equivalent) or credit card Fiancées of Americans seeking legal capacities to marry do not need to appear
