Advisory on Marriage | PSA

For those of you who are planning to get married (especially if you're Filipino) must secure a CENOMAR or proof of singleness from PSA. 

The counterpart of CENOMAR is the AOM (Advisory on Marriage).  It is necessary to obtain an AOM most especially for those applying for spouse or fiancé(e) visa. The AOM shows how many times you got married and whom you were married to. Once marriage is registered or reported, you will be able to get the Advisory on Marriage. 

How to obtain AOM is very easy. Just visit the nearest PSA office and fill out a green form for CENOMAR. However, if there's no record of marriage reported, you'll receive the certificate of no marriage. I went to PSA Cebu to request two copies of our Advisory on Marriage which costs Php195 per copy. Why two copies? So my husband and I can have extra copy. :D

There are a lot of ways one can request for PSA documents such Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, Marriage Certificate and CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage). 

One way to request is to visit PSA Office at the earliest time possible. For most people who want it done it one day, they start to fall in line as early as 4:00 am so one can get a priority number. Fee for getting Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, Marriage Certificate is Php140 and CENOMAR is Php195. 

For color coded application forms: White Form - Birth Certificate, Yellow Form - Death Certificate, Pink Form - Marriage Certificate and Green Form - CENOMAR/ AOM

The alternative way which I consider the easiest way is through E-census site. Fee for getting PSA Documents is a little expensive compared to first option. However, it saves you from waking up early and falling in line under the heat of the sun. For Birth Certificate, Death Certificate, Marriage Certificate will cost you Php315 per copy and CENOMAR/AOM will cost you Php415 per copy. Your documents will be delivered right at your doorstep in 3-5 working days within Metro Cebu and 4-9 working days in provinces within the Philippines.

    1. Hello,

      Per PSA's definition: A Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) is simply what its name implies. It is a certification issued by the PSA stating that a person has not contracted any marriage. Also called a certificate of No Record of Marriage or Certificate of Singleness.

      However, AOM (Advisory on Marriage) shows how many times you got married and whom you were married to. Once marriage is registered or reported, you will be able to get the Advisory on Marriage.

      You must register your marriage first before you are able to request for a copy of your AOM.

  4. Good pm...we are applying for a legitimation of our child...one of the requirements is Advisory on Marriages(cenomar)...is similar to a marriage certificate that we can get on PSA or NSO?

    1. Advisory on Marriage is different from a Marriage Certificate. A marriage certificate is a document containing the important details of marriage, signed by the couple and by all in attendance whereas an Advisory on Marriage is a document you need to obtain from PSA stating that you are legally married to your husband/wife.

  5. Hello, I am applying for my legitimation because my father and mother subsequently married just 3 months before I was born. I need an Advisory on Marriage. If I will be the one who will get AoM from PSA Office Pampanga, will they give me copies or there's a policy that my parents should be the one who will get it? Reply ASAP. Thanks in advance.

    1. Can someone request for an PSA Certificate that belongs to another person?
      Yes; anyone can request for the PSA Certificates of another person. However, the requested PSA Certificate may only be issued to (delivered) or received by the following:

      The owner himself or a duly authorized representative;
      Owner's spouse, parent, direct descendants, guardian, or institution legally in-charge of him/her, if minor;
      The court or proper public official whenever absolutely necessary in administrative, judicial, or other official proceedings to determine the identity of a person;
      In case of the person's death, the nearest of kin.
      Person receiving the documents must present the following:

      Authorization letter from the owner (if recipient is not the owner).
      Valid ID of the owner
      Valid ID of the authorized representative

  10. My husband was married to his 1st wife but he had no record from the nso if u r going to search for his name unless if u wer using his ex wifes name..when they got married he was using Amando..but after the marriage he found out that his name from his birth cert was Armando bec he will be graduating from college..they were separated for almost 10yrs now.. So after we got married,we got a cenomar of him to confirm if he had a record of marriage before,but it only stated that he was only married to me.. Should he get an AOM to fix his sss record? Bec we r planning to update his record,like changing the name of spouse...

In my case kasi sa ibang country kami nag pakasal tapos we report naman namin kaagad. after one month nag inquire ako ng AOM but hindi pa daw na padala ng Embassy is there other way po ba na ma expedite yung report of marriage. And if mapadala ng embassy kasi sabi nila 2 months pa daw kailan po makakuha ng AOM? salamat need lang kasi namin.

  22. hi po ano po ba naksulat sa Cenomar nyo. kasi yung sa akin hindi sila mag bigay nga advisory of marriage pag hindi pa na submit yung Marriage contract sa PSA yun kasi ang basihan. Yung Cenomar pag hindi ka marriage makakuha ka pero pag marriage kana at na report na sa PSA yung Marriage doc niyo instead of CENOMAR advisory of marriage yung erelase po

  24. kasi pag hindi pa nakaregister yung marriage certificate nyo sa PSA hindi ka makakuha nang Advisory of marriage yung makukuha nyo sa PSA is Cenomar the same documents na kinuha nyo bago kayo kinasal. Yun din ang sa akin kasi it takes 3-6 months daw from your wedding pwede makakuha ng marriage Certificate and Advisory of marriage

  25. dapat magkatugma. yun din kasi reason natagalan kami sa pagprocess ng visa namin dahil sa Mariage Certificate and AOM kasi ang PSA hindi magrelease ng AOM if hindi pa na report yung marriage Cert namin sa PSA. pag magpumilit ako na kumuha ng AOM yung marelease nila is CENOMAR same documents na kinuha ntin para magpakasal

  26. Sorry for the late response. I believe you should inform the PSA personnel with regards to your concern.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Cenomar is a certificate of singleness while the other one is called AOM (advisory on marriage) This is a certificate showing your marriage records.

    REgardless if you are single or married, you still have to request for cenomar.

  28. Good Day, Ms Hannah. In that case, you have to visit the nearest PSA office and inquire regarding your concern as it is quite complicated to have an AOM and a cenomar at the same time.

  30. During your US Visa interview at the US Embassy Manila, you will receive an email listing all the documents you have to bring with you to your interview. As I have mentioned in my previous comment, regardless of status, you would have to still request for CENOMAR.

    ReplyDelete
  31. FYI Regardless if you are SINGLE or MARRIED, you would have to request the same FORM from PSA which is called CENOMAR. However, if you have already reported your marriage, you will receive its counterpart which is the AOM or Advisory on Marriage.

    1. If thats what being instructed then you must follow it. My experience might not be applicable to your case. However, to answer your question, on the day I claimed my AOM, I noticed that the place of marriage was incorrect so I informed the staff immediately. I had to talk to their head supervisor since I already got so many delays from requesting for my Report of Marriage. They were considerate enough to correct it in their database while I stayed outside their office. I only waited less than an hour and they gave back my corrected AOM.
