A Report of Marriage is a declaration that a marriage involving a Filipino citizen took place in a foreign country. Such report is forwarded to the Philippine Statistics Authority for official registration.
ONLY marriages that happened in the following places can be registered by the Philippine Consulate General in Frankfurt: Hesse, North Rhine-Westphalia, Thuringia, Baden-Württemberg, Rhineland-Palatinate, Saarland, and Bavaria.
A marriage should be reported to the Consulate General within twelve (12) months of its occurrence.
A marriage that is reported to the Philippine Embassy or Consulate beyond the twelve (12) month grace period is considered a Delayed Registration of Marriage. In this case, the report must be accompanied by an explanation surrounding the delay in the reporting of the marriage through an Affidavit of Delayed Registration of Marriage.
