Notarize Parental Consent or Advice to Marriage Online
The Family Code requires parental consent for marriage license applicants aged 18 to 21, and parental advice for those over 21 up to 25. Civil registrars require these documents sworn, and missing them delays the license by months under the Family Code's waiting rules.
Parents abroad, wedding on schedule
Many parents of marrying-age Filipinos work overseas. Under the Rules on Electronic Notarization, a parent abroad can swear the consent from Philippine embassy or consular premises, while parents in the provinces appear from home.
What you need
- The consent or advice document in PDF naming both parties to the marriage
- The consenting parent's valid government-issued ID
