Hi Rhodora,
Sa pagpapakasal sa civil, kailangang residente ang isa sa ikakasal ng city o municipality kung saan ninyo balak magpakasal. Maaari kang mag inquire sa office ng solemnizing officer kung saan ninyo balak magpa kasal.
May CENOMAR ka na ba? Isa kasi ito sa mga requirements. Pwede kang mag order online para ma-deliver sa iyo ang CENOMAR mo. Just log on to http://www.nsohelpline.com
