PSA Marriage Certificate 2026: Request Online or Walk-in
Quick answer
A PSA marriage certificate costs PHP 330 per copy online through PSA Serbilis, with delivery in the Philippines, or PHP 155 at a PSA outlet.

What are the requirements?
- Full names of husband and wife (wife's maiden name).
- Date and place of marriage.
- Purpose of the request.
- Valid ID of the requester.
- Requesting for someone else: an authorization letter or Special Power of Attorney from the husband or wife, a copy of their valid ID, and your own valid ID.
