Cost Of Marriage At Paranaque City Hall
Hello
I am getting at married at Paranaque City Hall this September.
This is quite a specific question. If anyone has married there can they recall how much the marriage licence, service and other fees connected to the City Hall were?
My fiancee visited the City Hall today and the lady she spoke to could not give a price. She said someone else will tell her and that there may be a different a price if you are getting married to a foreigner.

I got married around the corner / just across the road a few yards. I can't remember the fees as I used an agent to help us organise everything. I distinctly remember popping into the city hall there to sign documents etc.
I can remember the fees I paid to the agent but they were worth it to get everything sorted out as we were on a limited timeframe to get everything done.

Prepare more or less P10,000 because the price of wedding for foreigner is different from locals.

I know but they helped us get the marriage organised so that it fitted in with our tight schedule. We were going to have difficulty otherwise. At first we tried to fit it into my available time ourselves, there, but couldn't so we used the agent (one my wife's cousins had used before so we knew they were okay).

Sounds like a good-paying job.
My friend once travelled 300klms on the train in the Phils free of charge, after he told the ticket man he was a missionary preacher.
It's the same on the buses...as long as you walk up and down lecturing people on the bible.
I always remembered that in case one day I don't have money.

I got married their last month and it cost me P8,000. Expect to pay more if you don't have any local connections. I was told it was more like P5,000 for Filipinos.
They were very, very strict on our documents. So make sure they're all correct. Especially if she is under 25 or under 21
They'll release the marriage certificate after 10 days. You or your wife will then need to go there to get an endorsement letter to take to the NSO in QC. Then another 3 week wait. All that will cost about P400.
Best of luck!

If you pay the Judge enough you can pick up the certificate the next day....as I did.
We were on the plane and out of there within a week.

Oddly, a 'judge' wedding would have taken much longer at PCH. So we had the resident reverend do the job. Not that he was holy enough to not overcharge us Nice chap actually (and a dead ringer for Ringo Star.... well a Filipino Ringo Star, at any rate!) and was aware that the marriage certificate from there was no good for us and we needed the endorsement letter for the NSO.

Corruption does have its uses.
The procedure was carefully recorded on camera too.
I didn't actually realise that a friend had kindly paid the judge the required fee to 'fast-track' procedures...no chance of me paying extra to some thieving public official.
