But many people don't understand why they need to do double certification after getting a Philippine marriage certificate, so today EasyGo Easy Travel International will introduce to you why we Chinese need double certification when we get married in the Philippines. And what are the steps to do double certification?

Why do Chinese people need double certification when they get married in the Philippines?

We got married in the Philippines and received a Philippine marriage certificate. The Philippine marriage certificate is not valid in China. That is to say, China does not recognize that marriage in the Philippines is not protected by Chinese law, so we must do double certification, and then our marriage will be recognized in China!

What are the materials for applying for double certification?

Applying for double certification can be divided into two situations to introduce to you. The first is that if a Chinese and a Filipino marry, then you need to provide a photo of the Chinese passport, a psa marriage certificate from the Philippine Bureau of Statistics, and a Filipino birth paper. If two Chinese get married in the Philippines, you need to provide the front page photos of the passports of the two Chinese and the PSA marriage certificate of the Philippine Bureau of Statistics.

What is the process of double certification of marriage certificate?

After obtaining the PSA marriage certificate from the Philippine Bureau of Statistics, you can go to the Philippine Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the Hague certification of the Philippines. You can make an appointment for the application time of the Chinese embassy in advance while doing the Hague certification. Generally, the appointment of the embassy needs to be 2 months in advance. After the embassy's certification, we can bring all the marriage materials and certification materials back to the local notary office for notarization. However, the Philippine marriage certificate is generally in English, so we need to take it to the notary office after translation.
