You only need your copy of your passport and your AFFIDAVIT IN LIEU OF CERTIFICATE OF LEGAL CAPACITY TO MARRY. Your passport has all the info were you are born as the same as a birth certificate. Make sure you make an appointment at the Embassy for your AFFIDAVIT IN LIEU OF CERTIFICATE OF LEGAL CAPACITY TO MARRY and also check for the amount they charge last year the cost was 50 dollars but check the web site.

Thanks everyone

I checked with the consulate in Cebu and they can give me my AFFIDAVIT IN LIEU OF CERTIFICATE OF LEGAL CAPACITY TO MARRY there. This website makes me feel confident that everything will work out and I will be able to get everything processed. Thanks for the hope everyone!

So my fiance went to the Civil registrar to ask for the requirements to get married and they told her that I need a CENOMAR, CEDULA, and Barangay Clearance. Im a USC so I'm a little confused as to how I would go about getting those. This is the Cebu City Civil Registrar she went to. Is that information right?
