PSA Marriage Certificate

Official marriage certificate from the Philippine Statistics Authority — needed for spouse benefits, name changes and immigration.

PSA Marriage Certificate is the official copy of your marriage record from the Philippine Statistics Authority.

Needed for:

  • Spouse benefits (SSS, GSIS, PhilHealth)
  • Updating your surname on IDs and records
  • Immigration and visa applications with a spouse
  • Property and estate matters

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

Note:

  • The local civil registrar's copy is different — government agencies usually ask for the PSA copy
  • A newly registered marriage takes time to reach the PSA database
  • For use abroad, get a DFA apostille
