    The document provides instructions for correcting a certificate of marriage (COM) that did not include an annotation about a divorce granted abroad. It outlines that the foreign divorce decree must first be recognized by a Philippine Regional Trial Court, then registered with the local civil registrar's office where the court is located. Finally, the registered documents should be submitted to the civil registrar's office where the marriage was registered to annotate the divorce on the COM, which can then be requested from the Philippine Statistics Authority.

    Annotation on the effects of divorce

    declared in a foreign country


    A request for copy issuance of COM with annotation on the effects of divorce
    abroad resulted to a negative result or COM without annotation.

    How to correct

     The divorce decree granted by a foreign country must first be filed for
    recognition in the Philippine Regional Trial Court (RTC).
     Once the local court recognized the foreign divorce decree, register it to
    the LCRO of the place of jurisdiction of the RTC which granted the
    petition.
     The next step is to provide the copy of the registered court decree and
    certificate of finality to the LCRO where the marriage was registered for
    the annotation in the COM.
     Once registered, you may now request for an annotated COM at PSA. The
    complete set of documents: registered court decree, certificate of
    finality, certificate of registration and the annotated COM is to be
    forwarded through courier to PSA for processing. Also hand-carry the set
    of documents for filing an application at PSA-Central Outlet, East Avenue.
