What is a PSA Marriage Certificate?

A PSA Marriage Certificate is a document issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) that serves as proof that a couple has been legally married. It is issued based on your marriage contract.

Your marriage certificate is signed by you and your spouse, officiant, as well as your witnesses.

After your marriage civil registration, your marriage certificate will be issued by the Local Civil Registry Office or LRCO of the city or municipality where you celebrated your wedding.

After this, the LCRO will endorse the certificate to PSA for certification and printing.

Who can request for a marriage certificate?

This can be requested by any of the spouses. It can also be requested by an authorized representative, their direct descendants or parents, or a court.

Information to be provided when applying for a marriage certificate

These are the information needed when applying for a marriage certificate:

Complete name of the wife
Complete name of the husband
Date of marriage
Place of marriage
Complete name and address of the requesting party
Number of copies needed
Purpose of the certification

How can I request for any correction on my marriage certificate?

If there is a typo or error in your marriage certificate, you can easily correct it. For example, if the first name of the bride is different from the one in her Certificate of Live Birth, you can file a petition for the correction of entry through RA 9048.

This should be filed at your Local Civil Registry Office where you registered your Certificate of Marriage. Correction of entries is usually P1,000 only, to be collected by the City or Municipal Civil Registrar or the District/Circuit Registrar.
