i am bob Posted May 26, 2013 Posted May 26, 2013 For the uninitiated ... what is a CNI ? Paul, a CNI is a document one must get if they plan to marry in the Philippines. "CERTIFICATE OF NO IMPEDIMENT (CNI) also known as Certificate of Legal Capacity" more details here: http://www.australia.com.ph/mnla/marriage.html I think it's basically a document to declare that either party is not currently married. I'm not so sure about both terms for the CNI. I can get a "Certificate of No Impediment" easily enough but "Legal Capacity" - doesn't that have to do with a person's mental state? As in "legally, he has no clue how to look after himself so we got him committed." :mocking: Bob, the American Embassy version is indeed called the "Legal Capacity To Marry". The CNI is Canadian & Austrailian I believe. So does that mean you Americans have to prove that you're sane or (of legal capacity) before you get married? :mocking: (Oh I know somebody is gonna whack my peepee for this one!) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
