Kung natapos na ang LCCM application ninyo sa Japanese Embassy in the Philippines, now is the time to do STEP 2 and that is applying for Marriage License. Para walang maging problem sa pagkakasunod-sunod ng date of events sa pagpapakasal ninyo, hwag kayong kukuha ng Marriage License na wala pa sa kamay ninyo ang LCCM. May mga local registrar na nagbibigay ng ML at di na kayo hahanapan pa ng LCCM so mag-iingat po kayo dito at mas better ng gawin nyo ng step by step.

After receiving the LEGAL CAPACITY TO CONTRACT MARRIAGE, both parties must proceed to the city hall of the Philippine nationals place of residence and apply for the MARRIAGE LICENSE. Please refer all questions regarding the procedures and requirements necessary to apply for your marriage license directly to the local civil registrar.

In general as what said by PSA (Philippine Statistics Authority) ang mga kailangang documents for ML application ay ang mga sumusunod, subalit baka meron pang mga additional dito base sa inyong local civil registrar so don kayo dapat magtanong directly.
