Hi! I’m Riza and soon to be married to a British national I’ve seen from the forum that some of you have done the Affidavit/Affirmation of marital status in Manila. My fiancé's concern is that he's not sure if he should or shouldn't edit the parts that are in Italic fonts enclosed with parenthesis'? Here's how he filled- up his affidavit. @bigmac @one world AFFIDAVIT OF MARITAL STATUS I, (name and surname), make oath and say as follows: The following is information about myself: SurnameEFGHIJ All forenames: ABC (as shown on passport) Male/Female: MALE Date of Birth: 12/3/4556 Place of Birth: ZXCBVNMZXBCNVM Usual Address: 098DGFGFH CNVJVK Occupation: TEGSHCJSKD All forenames and surname of Father: SDF ASDFG All forenames and surname of Mother:ZXX VBBNM Mother’s maiden name: DFGH British passport number: 1234567 Date and place of issue of passport: 12/5/34 - UNITED KINGDOM Marital Status: SINGLE If divorced, date and place of issue of decree absolute: N/A If widowed, date and place of death of previous spouse: N/A I am not under 18 years of age or [I am under 18 years of age but the consent of the persons whose consent to the marriage is required by law has been obtained] or [I am under 18 years of age but there is no person whose consent to the marriage is required by law] A marriage is proposed to be solemnised between me and (name and surname of partner) of (usual address) a (nationality of partner) National at (place of marriage) on (date of marriage).

Welcome here, Riza. I note that you're 17 which suggests that you may have problems in getting a marriage licence from your local Registrar, problems accentuated by the fact you're marrying a foreigner. It might be better for both of you to marry in Hong Kong. Good luck with whatever route you choose.
Hi Markham, That’s a mistake it should be 29 lol. Sorry, I just saw a while back when I changed my profile picture. I need to notify the admin. Thank you for the reply.
