Requirements For The Application of A Marriage License

This information is from a sheet of paper that the Quezon City Hall gave me when i requested for an application form for a marriage license.

The photo on the right is what the Marriage License application looks like.

I had to pay P150 for the form and schedule a family planning seminar with the Health office. The Courts of Clerks give this form for free (I realized after i paid P150 for it) hehehe!
