What is a CENOMAR?

A Certificate of No Marriage Record (CENOMAR) is an official document issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA) that certifies an individual has not contracted any marriage. It is essentially a "certificate of singleness."

If a marriage record is found under the person's name, the PSA will issue a Certificate of Marriage (CEMAR) instead, which will detail the marriage records found.
