CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage Record) is issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority and shows that there's no marriage recorded under your name.
Needed for:
- Marriage license applications
- Some immigration and visa applications
How to get one:
- Online through PSA's official request channels, with delivery
- In person at PSA outlets
- Check psa.gov.ph for current fees and processing times
What it means for you:
- Get it shortly before your marriage license application, since offices may ask for a recent copy
- Foreign nationals marrying in the Philippines need a different document, usually a certificate of legal capacity to marry from their embassy
