Hi,

You should get in touch with the 芦 Zivilstans盲mter / 茅tat civil 禄 of the Canton. They will tell you what you need if you want the marriage to be recognized in Switzerland.

As I've stated above the link gives all the information for it to be recognized in both countries, this coming from the Switzerland Embassy in the Philippines.

Hi. @SimCityAT Im confused. Do I really have to process first my passport before marriage? Is it really a requirement for the application for the marriage? Because I'm planning to process it after.

You will need to talk with the Embassy, they will be able to explain the process in more depth.

Hi Therealxtine25, im not sure i get your question right. I don鈥檛 want to assume so id rather ask... are you a Filipino wanting to marry with your Swiss fiance in the Philippines? If so then you have to apply at the Civil Registrar of the place where plan the marriage to take place, this together with requirements from your fiance鈥檚 end complete and at hand. Also, this answers your question regarding the passport. Bec you don鈥檛 need a passport (at least not yet) if your marriage is happening in the Philippines. You may need that though as a valid ID.

Hi TEENA1126

Your waiting time of 3 months doesn鈥檛 start unless all needed (and additional) documents and further steps that the consul and/or embassy requires has already been completed. I鈥檓 assuming by now that this has been moved due to the additional steps that the consul is being made with your Fiance here. I know the feeling but don鈥檛 fret.馃檪 By your credentials you shouldn鈥檛 have any issues in coming here to get married. You can drop e messaged at my inbox if you have more questions.

Hi TEENA1126

Your waiting time of 3 months doesn鈥檛 start unless all needed (and additional) documents and further steps that the consul and/or embassy requires has already been completed. I鈥檓 assuming by now that the only reason it took more than 3 months is due to the additional steps that the consul is being made with your Fiance here in Switzedland. Don鈥檛 worry you will not have to wait for long after that contact with your Fiance. 1 more month to wait is already too long. I know the feeling but don鈥檛 fret.馃檪 By your credentials you shouldn鈥檛 have any issues in coming here to get married. You can drop me a messsge at my inbox if you have any more questions. Goodluck!
