Getting married next month in Davao City, Philippines?
Does anyone know how fast it takes for a marriage license approved in Davao City Philippines. Because I only have 14 days, is it possible to expedite (speed) the process by paying a little extra. Money does not matter so people can speed up the process. And what about civil marriage itself. I guess my main question is, Is it possible (after I get my wedding certificate Manila) to be legally married in Davao with a 14 day span.
Any foreigner who wants to get married in the Philippines is required by the Philippine Government to recover from its Embassy an "affidavit in lieu of a Certificate of Legal Capacity to Marry" before filing an application for marriage license.
