Civil Wedding rites before the SC
Any of the incumbent Supreme Court Justices may solemnize a marriage ceremony. One may write a formal letter addressed to the Justice of their choice and email it to enbanc.sc@judiciary.gov.ph. The Office of the Associate Justice will then give the requirements once His/Her Honor confirms their availability. Regarding the procedure, there requirements vary depending on the Justice who will solemnize the wedding. Common requirements are: marriage license, payment of the PhP 300.00 fee and PhP 20.00 for documentary stamps, and birth certificates of the contracting parties. Some require copies of the parties’ respective CENOMAR, and still some require a joint affidavit from the parties stating their personal circumstances, their capacity to marry, and their intent to invite the Justice as the solemnizing officer.
It should be noted that the Office of the Justice shall not be responsible for filing the marriage certificate with the local civil registrar as the same must be processed by the applicants themselves. However, should the Office of the Justice agree to process the filing of the marriage certificate, the administrative and other related expenses in relation thereto, the same shall be charged to the applicants.
