INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE & BACKGROUND CHECKS
PHILIPPINES / THAILAND / VIETNAM
Because this marriage matters so much to you,
there are things you may want to confirm.
Is there anything unclear about your foreign fiancé(e) or partner, such as marital history, identity, background, workplace or living circumstances?
At TSK INTERNATIONAL, with the Philippines as our main area of focus, we accept consultations on background checks and pre-marriage investigations for international marriages in countries including Thailand and Vietnam.
Rather than stoking anxiety about marriage, we place importance on comparing what you have been told by the person concerned with information that can be lawfully verified, and organizing the facts you need to make your decision.

WHAT WE CAN VERIFY
The purpose of a pre-marriage investigation is not to doubt your partner. It is to confirm that there are no discrepancies in the facts you both understand, and to organize any unclear points that affect your future life together. The scope of an investigation is determined with consideration for the consent of the person concerned, a legitimate purpose, and the laws of each country.
For cases where your partner has said they are single, but you wish to confirm their past marriages or current marital status.
We verify and cross-check official certificates from the relevant country and documents presented by the person concerned, in accordance with the conditions for obtaining them.
For cases where you wish to confirm that the name, date of birth, nationality and other details given by someone you met through social media or a dating app are accurate.
We verify the consistency of publicly available information and identity documents that have been lawfully presented.
For cases where you wish to check for discrepancies between the facts and the workplace, employment history or educational background your partner has described.
We consider lawful methods, such as consent-based inquiries and checks of published information.
We organize the points that need to be confirmed regarding the living environment overseas, the area where the person says they live, and information about their daily life.
Rather than improperly monitoring private life, we confirm, within an appropriate scope, facts directly relevant to your decision about marriage.
It is not always necessary to investigate every item. It is important to set priorities based on your consultation and narrow the investigation to the points that truly need confirmation.
DOCUMENTS · IDENTITY · BACKGROUND
OUR PRIMARY FOCUS / PHILIPPINES
In an international marriage with a Filipino partner, confirming marital status and comparing it with the person's own account is one important part of preparation.
The Philippines has marriage registration systems and handling of official certificates that differ from those in Japan. If the person has been married before, individual legal circumstances need to be confirmed, such as annulment or declaration of nullity of marriage, and recognition of a divorce obtained abroad.
For the workplace, employment history, family composition and living environment you have been told about, it is also possible to compare the documents presented by the person with information that can be lawfully verified.
Checking that the name and date of birth on documents match the person's own account and other materials can help prevent misunderstandings and miscommunication.
PHILIPPINE CIVIL REGISTRY DOCUMENTS
The CENOMAR (Certificate of No Marriage Record) is a typical document used to confirm marital status before marrying a Filipino citizen. Issued by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA), it shows that no registered marriage record exists.
Certificate of No Marriage Record
The CENOMAR is a document certifying that no corresponding marriage record exists among the marriage records managed by the Philippine Statistics Authority (PSA).
However, for people who have been married in the past, or whose situation involves annulment, declaration of nullity, or legal recognition of a divorce, the required certificates and methods of verification differ.
The presentation of a CENOMAR does not unconditionally guarantee marital status in every country or region. The scope of the records covered and the identity of the person concerned must also be taken into account.
PSA explanation of the CENOMARA typical official document for confirming name, date of birth, place of birth and similar details.
A document that confirms the fact of a registered marriage. To assess current marital status, subsequent legal procedures must also be considered.
In cases such as when there is a marital history, it is necessary to check documents relating to PSA marriage records.
PSA official records are not a personal information database that anyone can freely access. Eligibility to obtain them, identity verification, purpose of use, personal information protection requirements and other conditions must be followed. TSK INTERNATIONAL does not guarantee that certificates can be obtained unconditionally.
In 2026, the PSA officially announced electronic certificate services for the CENOMAR and other documents. Please be sure to check official information for specific application methods and conditions of use.

We also accept consultations on pre-marriage investigations in Thailand and Vietnam. However, because marriage systems and conditions for obtaining official documents differ from country to country, investigations cannot be conducted using the same procedures as in the Philippines.
In Thailand, registering a marriage with a foreign national may require documents such as a certificate of single status, along with prescribed authentication and translation.
In a pre-marital background check, we consider verifying the person's stated career history and occupation, as well as materials related to marital status, by lawful means.
Thai Government Marriage Registration GuidanceFor marriages with foreign nationals in Vietnam, it is necessary to confirm the parties' marriage requirements, registration procedures, and required certificates.
Regarding identity, career history, and place of employment, we first consider the accuracy of the information provided and the scope of materials that can be lawfully verified.
Vietnam National Public Service PortalWe also accept inquiries about international marriage investigations involving other nationalities and regions. Whether we can assist depends on the purpose of the investigation, the target region, local laws and regulations, and other factors.
OUR INVESTIGATION APPROACH
It is not appropriate to judge all of a person's identity or background from a single document or social media post. For each fact you wish to verify, we assess the reliability of the information.
Rather than treating differences in nationality or culture as grounds for suspicion, it is important to check, one by one, the specific points where explanations do not match.
We check the type and consistency of the documents presented, such as marital status records and identification-related materials.
We review public profiles and published information to consider whether there are any inconsistencies with the person's own account.
Taking into account the purpose, consent, and local laws, we determine whether on-site verification is possible within lawful limits.
We report clearly distinguishing information that has been corroborated from unclear points, speculation, and matters that could not be verified.
INTERNATIONAL MARRIAGE GUIDE
Before requesting an investigation, some concerns can be resolved by talking it over together.
If there are discrepancies in the spelling of a name, workplace, place of origin, or similar details, first try asking the person directly. Differences may also arise from variations in how names are written across languages.
The required documents differ depending on the circumstances, such as being single, divorced, or widowed. It is also important to check the official application procedures together with the person.
If you are asked about remittances or wedding funds, make the purpose and repayment terms clear. Regardless of nationality, handing over large sums of money calls for careful judgment.
This includes country of residence, relationships with family, work, living expenses, children, and differences in culture and language. It is important to discuss married life thoroughly.
※These are general points to check. They do not imply that people of any particular nationality or ethnicity are more likely to present problems.
FEES & INVESTIGATION PROCESS
In a pre-marital background check, the work and costs required vary depending on the scope of the investigation and the country involved. It is important to clarify what you want to verify and define the scope of the investigation.

RESPONSIBLE BACKGROUND INVESTIGATION
The information covered by a background check may include personal and sensitive information. The person's consent or a lawful basis for obtaining the information may be required.
In the Philippines, the Data Privacy Act of 2012 governs the handling of personal information. Thailand and Vietnam each have their own systems for personal data as well.
We do not conduct investigations that rely on unauthorized access to private accounts, improper acquisition of identification documents, illegal trading of information, or unauthorized viewing of communications.
