Youngster Posted August 21, 2018 Posted August 21, 2018 After reading through this post, I’m still not quite sure about the process. I married a Filipina in Manila some 30 years ago, and we divorced in the USA. I am now looking to marry my current filipina girlfriend in the Philippines. So do I need to file for recognition of divorce with the Philippines Court before I can remarry in the Philippines again, possibly having to wait up to 2 years? If so, are there any other options? Marry in Hong Kong? Do a K-1 VISA and marry in the USA/ I would appreciate any suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need a CENOMAR as you are divorced. This might help, https://ph.usembassy.gov/u-s-citizen-services/local-resources-of-u-s-citizens/getting-married/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Youngster Posted August 22, 2018 Posted August 22, 2018 CENOMAR should indicate I am married. So I would just need to provide NSO with my divorce decree and I am free to marry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meaning there is nothing legally stopping you from marrying. You must get it before applying for a marriage . NSO is for Filipinos, are you Filipino?

You may need to show proof of divorce then you just sign the affidavit attesting to the fact that you are unmarried which is notarized by the embassy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
