@Thirdchild3 You would have to go to the embassy in Manila with your declaration or affidavit no need for your wife to go... https://www.gov.uk/government/uploa...the_Philippines_leaflet_as_of_2_July_2015.pdf She can obtain a Cenomar from the Philippine authorities by post for both herself and you as well as get her NSO birth certificate. Best to get a few copies of each! https://www.ecensus.com.ph/Default.aspx
Yes, wives (or girlfriends for that matter), are allowed inside the embassy. Need suitable ID. Mine was anyway.
Your future wife doesn't need to attend. My future wife went with me just to keep me company but it wasn't needed. You need to take (from memory) your completed affidavit of marital status, birth certificate, passport, proof of address like council tax bill, proof of divorce (if applicable) and the fee in cash to the embassy in manila. Check the website for the latest requirements. You make an appointment online. You can find the info you need here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/marriage-in-the-philippines I too managed to obtain a CENOMAR for myself but no-one has ever shown any interest in seeing it. That's not to say that I regret getting it. Its been known for the CFO sticker people to ask for one - although at our CFO appoitment today they didn't, so if I was you I would order a CENOMAR just in case - its cheap and it might come in handy.
