You get it from the US Embassy in Manila.

Or the Us Consulate in Cebu. Can't get it in Bacolod.

Man i just said.. im not staying in manila.. or going to cebu!

There other filipino girls to marry then just in cebu and manila... Where can i go in bacolod to get it or.. does anybody know a hook up to get married in bacolod without the afficavite?

It is only available through the US embassy there. They have no branch in Bacolod. That said many times the need for meeting official requirements in the Philippines can disappear when you include extra fees at the registration location. There is no guarantee these extra fee steps will be available to you, and they may be more than stopping in Manila or Cebu. Be careful of fixers to, often times you think you got what you need, only to find later you've only gotten a lighter wallet. A marriage certificate that never reaches the NSO, isn't going to do you a lot of good.

Okay so if i go to the embassy and take a day triip there do i get the affidavate in 1 day??? or does it take several days? .. i just want to go there and do all this in one day and get back on the plane? Also is the embassy near the airport in manila?

[Caryh 5,206]

I've heard people easily get it done in one day. Its not a hard process, you swear to them you can marry and they create the certificate you need. The embassy is a few miles away from the airport, but Manila traffic can make it seem a lot further. Make sure you go the embassy when its not a USA or Philippine holiday. They close for both.

You may of said " im not staying in manila.. or going to cebu! " but that doesn't change the reality.

Just you.

[Caryh 5,206]

Just you.

[Caryh 5,206]

Well there is always the spreading kwarta around option, but there's always the danger it doesn't work, or you think it did but its all faked papers and it bites you in the butt later.

You can do it in one day. First, make an appoint at the Embassy, and make flight reservations too. Take the first flight from Bacolod to Manila. Take a taxi to the Embassy. Get the Affidavit. Catch a taxi back to the airport. Then, fly back to Bacolod on the same day.

Approximate cost of the trip for one person:

$120. Round trip flight to Manila

$ 40. Taxis in Bacolod and Manila

$ 50. Affidavit

$ 20. Meals

$230. Total

WoW! Those are some pricey taxis!

Best thing to do is plan your trip and make appointment.

I am not sure if you can do that for Cebu Embassy Annex, but you can for Manila.

If you make appointment you will get affidavit in a few minutes. Also check embassy times, as they maybe limited.

You can always call Embassy and talk directly to them. They have a web page with much information.

Fiancee is not required as they are performing a service for you as US citizen.

Manila and Cebu are only two US embassy offices in Philippines and you must go there.

It cannot be done in US either.

You will also need you Birth Certificate and copies, Divorce Documents or Death Certificate from previous

Marriage. US Passport as well as Affidavit. They may require you to have a CENOMAR

from the NSO for yourself. Your fiancee will also need one and can obtain for you at the closest

NSO office to her.
