Please Help! How can I get a Affidavit in Lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage in bacolod!?

[Rahstyles 10]

I went with my husband when he got the affidavit certificate at the embassy (well, I was his driver, lol). We just had to leave our cellphones at the receiving area and we were given a number which we presented upon leaving to get our phones back. That was in July 2011. I just don't know if it's still the same now.

Can you trust the people? not to do the old switcheroo?

Yes. I still have my same old cellphone. It's within embassy premises already, it was after we entered the main entrance and where initial security check is done, in a closed area with entrance and exit doors. Then aftwerwards, you proceed to the office/transaction building. I don't think they would dare to that, else the employees or contractors will answer to the US Embassy. I think the only possible 'switching' that could happen is if you are mistakenly given a different phone.

Why are you not asking your fiancée or her family to chase this part down? You need someone in the area they live in and someone who cares that the results are done right. Her and her family are the ones that match that description. My wife lived in a Davao City and is in the USA now. When we need information to accomplish something in her home town, we rely on her family to chase it down for us. What you want to do should really be discussed in person and not over the phone or email.

Now my next question is.. Do you think or know anybody how i can get a number to a judge or anybody?? Can you ask your philipino.. wife please? I need some number where i can call and inquire about early marriage .. perferably in bacolod or any cities near it. Not manila. Thanks!

Have your Fiancee check with the local civil registrars office, explain to them that you are time limited and cannot wait 10 days and you need to do the marriage application in advance of your arrival to the Philippines. This is up to the civil registrar to allow this, your finance will summit her docs, she will need a copy of your birth cert, passport. When you arrive you will supply your necessary documents and pick up the marriage license.

We did the same in February 2012.
