Document background
The Notice of Intent to Marry is a crucial preliminary document required by Philippine law before any marriage can be solemnized. This document must be filed with the local civil registrar's office in the municipality where either party regularly resides. The notice serves multiple purposes: it formally declares the parties' intention to marry, provides necessary information for legal verification, and initiates the mandatory posting period required by law. The document is governed by the Family Code of the Philippines and various administrative orders from the Civil Registrar General. It requires comprehensive personal information from both parties, declarations of eligibility, and may need additional documentation for special circumstances such as foreigners, widowed persons, or those requiring parental consent. The notice must be filed within the timeframe specified by local regulations, typically leading to a posting period of at least 10 days before a marriage license can be issued.
