Title I — Marriage

Article 30

EO 209 · Family Code of the Philippines

ELI5— what this means for you

For marriages in remote areas (Art. 25), the officiating officer must also send an affidavit to the civil registrar explaining why no license was obtainable. Without this, the marriage registration is incomplete.

Official text — EO 209

The original of the affidavit required in the last preceding article, together with the legible copy of the marriage contract, shall be sent by the person solemnizing the marriage to the local civil registrar of the municipality where it was performed within the period of thirty days after the performance of the marriage. (75a)
