In 1997 I was married to a Filipino national and then got a divorce in the USA after 2 years. I am now engaged to marry another Filipino and read somewhere online that I will need to get a "Certification of Nullity" before I can get married in the Philippines again. Since I got a valid divorce in the United States, as a foreigner, do I need to get the Certification of Nullity? Also, how do I go about doing it?

Hi pavelow360,

I suggest you to go through the Formalities and procedures in the Philippines forum, where you may find out more information about the procedures.

Thank you,

David.

no all you need is the capacity to marry from Embassy show your divorce papers at Embassy, the Supreme Court of the Philippines has ruled that a divorce by a foreigner in his country is recognized in the Philippines, his wife would have to go before the court to remarry
