Late Filing of the Report of Marriage in Houston and New Passport

[Alexa13 3]

Hi, all. I want to give an update for I finally went to the consulate office in Houston. This is for the information of those from Texas,  Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, New Mexico, and Oklahoma (states covered by the Philippine Consulate General in Houston).

 

"...showing the number of marriages contracted by the parties and issued by the Office of the Vital Records or any other appropriate office of the State where the marriage took place. If the number of contracted marriages does not show, one certified copy and two regular copies of the marriage license showing the number of marriage must be additionally submitted." (I just gave copies of my Marriage Certificate. No additional question asked) 

 

"Also, the Affidavit of Delayed Registration of Marriage needs to be notarized. Can I have it notarized by any public notary in Houston or does the consular office/Philippine embassy requires a notary public authorized by it? Or, is it possible to have the affidavit notarized at the consular office?" (The Report of Marriage and Affidavit can be notarized by any notary public. If it's a Special Power of Attorney, they require that it be notarized by a notary public auhtorized by the consular office.)

 

Last, can I file the ROM and apply for a renewal of my unexpired passport (I want a new passport under my married name) on the same day? No, it can not be done on the same day. Only after  I have received whatever it is I am supposed to receive three days after filing the ROM can I file for the renewal of passport under married name.

 

Thank you all for your assistance.

Thanks for the update.   

 

That is interesting that you can't complete the passport renewal the same day as ROM.    My wife did both the same day through the LA consulate. 

 

At least I know why the consulates added "marriage info from the office of vital records"  .. they saw it on a marriage certificate from one state so automatically figured it was available from ALL states ...  which all goes to prove the AssUme theory regarding the consulate

Hello thank you so much Alexa for your update, that's  my problem now, I'm planning to send my ROM by  mail however both of my Marriage Certificate  and Marriage license doesn't  show anything  about number of previous marriage, so by knowing your update I guess okay lang even if mine doesn't show those details

Thank you. This is weird that you weren't able to do the ROM and the renewal the same day. But everything else just like I said it would be. So I am glad you didn't over think it to much

Hello po, 

 

Tinanggap padin ng consulate ang registration of marriage kahit walang nakalagy na number of marriages contracted by the parties sa marriage license? Salamat po.
