PSA marriage certificate online: delivery, e-copy or walk-in
You can get a PSA marriage certificate online through PSA Serbilis or PSAHelpline.ph for delivery on security paper, or as a digitally signed E-Certificate. Prepare the date and place of marriage, both spouses' names (the wife's maiden name) and a valid ID; requests the online channels do not allow go through a PSA appointment at a CRS outlet.
After the wedding, the marriage is registered with the local civil registry office of the place where it was celebrated, which endorses it to the PSA. The "PSA marriage certificate" that banks, insurers, SSS or the DFA ask for is the PSA-printed copy on security paper (SECPA), or its digitally signed E-Certificate, not the copy the local registrar gave you.

Details to prepare
- Date of marriage.
- Place of marriage: city or municipality and province.
- Husband's full name and the wife's full maiden name, as written on the marriage certificate.
- Your own details as requester, matching your valid ID.
- The purpose of the request and a delivery address where you or your representative can receive it.
PSA Serbilis lets you order your own marriage certificate and those of your parents. Each channel shows who may request as you go, and PSAHelpline.ph does not accept requests for someone else's certificate from anyone under 18.
Order the PSA marriage certificate online
- Choose "Marriage Certificate" on the channel and accept its terms.
- Say whose marriage certificate you are requesting.
- Enter the date and place of marriage.
- Fill in the husband's details, then the wife's, with her maiden name.
- Complete your details as requester and the type of valid ID you will show on delivery.
- Choose the purpose, the address, who receives it and the number of copies, then pay and keep the reference number.
The courier releases the certificate only to you or a representative you assign. On PSAHelpline.ph, the online Letter of Authorization asks you to upload a copy of your valid ID and pass a liveness check.
Get the E-Certificate
The PSA E-Certificate for marriage is a scanned PDF signed with an Adobe Approved Trust List digital signature. You request it online, pay, upload a valid government ID and take a live selfie, then download the signed file. Send it unchanged: compressing, converting or editing it breaks the signature that lets recipients verify it.
Walk-in through the PSA appointment system
Book a slot in the PSA appointment system, select the marriage certificate and the outlet, and verify the one-time PIN sent to your email. Bring the completed application form, valid IDs and, for someone else's record, an authorization letter or special power of attorney.
If the outlet or the receiving office also asks for a photocopy of your valid ID, the front-and-back copy tool puts both sides on one printable page. It produces an image-based copy, not a PSA document.
Use it for the next steps
With the PSA marriage certificate in hand, you can update your records. A name change on your passport goes through DFA passport renewal, and other IDs such as the UMID or the TIN ID follow their own procedures. When you email a copy for a bank or insurance file, you can mark it for that purpose.
Before the wedding, the document to prepare is the CENOMAR.
PSA marriage certificate questions
Can I get my PSA marriage certificate online?
Yes. PSA Serbilis and PSAHelpline.ph deliver the copy on security paper, and the E-Certificate service issues a digitally signed PDF, all without a PSA visit.
What details do I need to order a PSA marriage certificate?
The date and place of marriage, the husband's full name, the wife's full maiden name, your own details as requester, the purpose and a delivery address, plus a valid ID that matches your details.
Who can request a PSA marriage certificate online?
The spouses and certain family members allowed by each channel, such as children of legal age on PSAHelpline.ph. Others apply at a PSA Civil Registry System outlet with an authorization letter or special power of attorney.
Is the copy from the local civil registrar enough?
Many offices ask specifically for the PSA copy on security paper or the PSA E-Certificate, so check the requirement before you submit the local registrar's copy.
