(NAR) VOL. 14 NOS. 1-2 / JANUARY - MARCH 2003
In line with the government policy of streamlining procedures for efficient public service and to eliminate red tape, it is hereby ordered that the submission of Certificate of Legal Capacity To Contract Marriage may be waived and in lieu thereof, a Marriage Certificate authenticated by the National Statistics Office (NSO) may be accepted. Since the Certificate of Legal Capacity to Contract Marriage is a requirement for the issuance of Marriage License (an essential requisite for a valid marriage), the submission of such Certificate is a surplus age.
For compliance/guidance.
Adopted: 7 Feb. 2003
