non-Catholic churches may require documents and/or seminars not specified
below. To be sure, inquire with the church in which you plan to be married. The
process below describes the general procedures for arranging a Catholic wedding
in the Philippines. However, the policies and procedures of individual churches
may vary.
1.
Baptismal and Confirmation Certificates – Required for both
the bride and the groom. These documents must be new, be annotated: "FOR
MARRIAGE PURPOSES ONLY", and have been obtained not more than three months
before the date of marriage;
For mixed marriage (different religions) – a dispensation must be secured from
the Parish Office which will be released after the canonical interview with the
parish priest or his assistant. These have to be presented one week before the
wedding.
2.
Marriage License – for those who are
first married in a civil ceremony, a certified true photocopy of the Marriage
Contract with the registry number of the city or town where the marriage was
performed must be submitted one week before the wedding date.
3.
Canonical Interview – The parish priest
or his assistant will conduct an interview with the bride and the groom one
month before the wedding date. The interview will be scheduled upon the signing
of the application form.
4.
Pre-Marriage Seminar – The seminar will be
scheduled during the canonical interview or you may inquire at the parish
office. Some churches will allow you to attend other pre-wedding seminars such
as the Discovery Weekend or Catholic Engaged Encounter.
5.
Permission – The bride must
receive permission to marry from her parish, if the venue is in another parish.
6.
Wedding Banns – The couple must
post the schedule of their wedding in their respective parishes. These will be
provided during the canonical interview and have to be immediately brought to
the respective parishes of the bride and the groom for posting. These have to
be returned to the office after three Sundays. (The respective parishes may ask
some requirements for the posting of the banns i.e. a picture each from the
bride and the couple.)
7.
List of names and addresses of
principal sponsors (Ninongs and Ninangs) –
The list has to be
submitted to the parish office one week before the wedding date. Church policy
requires at least a pair of sponsors and, ideally, a maximum of six sponsors.

For widow or widower – A copy of the death
certificate of the former spouse must be presented to the parish office.
9.
For renewal of vows – Remember to bring a
copy of the Catholic Marriage Contract.
