Then when the Chinese get married in the Philippines, they must follow the local laws and regulations of the Philippines.

Philippine and Local Marriage Policy

First of all, the legal marriage age for women in the Philippines is 16 years old, which is very different from 21 years old in our country. Therefore, Chinese people in the Philippines can also get a marriage certificate if they marry a woman over 16 years old.

Secondly, the Philippines is a country that does not allow divorce, and divorce is included in the criminal clause, so after marriage in the Philippines, it is lifelong, unless you can bear the costs of divorce.

The last one is that after a Chinese and a Filipino marry, this certificate needs to be notarized in the Chinese embassy before you can find your marriage status in China. If you do not have a notarization, then after returning to China, you will still be single in all your identity information. But you can no longer marry others. Such behavior will also be regarded as bigamy.

Materials needed for Chinese to marry Filipinos

Marriage itself involves the basic information of two people, so two people need to submit their passports and Philippine birth papers. Chinese people also need to provide non-criminal certificates and single certificates issued in China. These certificates need to be notarized by the public security agency where the applicant's registered permanent residence is located before they can get the Philippines for marriage. Therefore, the preparation of these materials needs to be carried out in China, to bring your own materials, you need to go to the Chinese Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Chinese Embassy in the Philippines for certification before you can apply for marriage. Only two people can get a marriage certificate smoothly. If the other party marries in China, it is also the corresponding materials and procedures.
