Hi all Iam new here. I have meet my girlfriend 2 times now and I got engaged in November I have now got my tickets to go back in June to sort our marriage papers out. I will be going to my town hall in next couple of days to get my CNI. I have my passport and birth certificate Iam 24 years old do I need a parent letter because iam under 25. my appointment at Manila British embassy is booked for 6th June can anyone help me make sure I got what I need before I travel and not make a wasted journey thank you.
I should know the answer to this! I know when I did it - I had to get an NSO Cenomar as well as the CNI that you get from the British Embassy or Consulate... You should get a letter from your parents approving as it'll be annoying not to have it if they ask for it After you've both got your NSO CENOMAR's it's all downhill... Birth Certificate, Copy of Passport and CENOMAR - then you have to post it for 3 weeks or 27 days I think... assuming there are no objections you're clear to go. Having said that - you don't say where you will be marrying... if it's going to be Catholic they'll be additional requirements (and costs)...
We are looking to marry in October in Manila just a civil wedding my appointment at embassy is booked. I worried about what I need to get from uk as am hearing all diffrent
Ahh yes - you'll need to attend the pre-marriage counselling session provided by the DSWD... - you'll get a piece of paper to show you've done it may also need to attend family planning if it's not part of the pre-marriage counselling - no special papers required.
Yes...you need to print the affirmation, fill it in..and make an appointment at the British Embassy. You will need to apply for a marriage licence and it won't be released for ten working days...so allow for that in your timeframe. I am sure if you search around on here you will find plenty of info. Good luck.
Thanks guy just worring to much I guess just don't want to travel all way to Manila and not have something I need
We all went through that stage. It seems that you have all the points covered for the UK embassy. Make sure you also have the info for the marriage license which you can quickly sort out by asking your fiance to get in touch or visit with the town hall for the local requirments as well.
Thank mate I will go to my local town hall next week and see if I can sort most it out before I travel to Manila in June to meet herself I will be in Manila for 16 days is that plenty to sort it out we will marry in October hoping all goes well in June my appointment is been booked since last month
One thing, dont sign your affirmation, fill in the rest of it. Says it needs to bo done on 1 page and typed on computer, printed out and taken with you on the day. Then sign it in front of them.
Since you are 24 years old, you should not need to worry about it, but if you were under 18 years of age you would need to provide proof that your parents or guardian grants their permission for you to get married. I read somewhere that even if you are over 18, it is still a good idea to have this with you just in case you are asked for it.
Underneath the part that you sent in the picture, I am sure is where you sign and date it in front of the staff at the embassy on the day of your appointment.
Also guys please help. The local mayor at the civil is unavailable. Ive passed all my documents to the civil including my affirmation from british embassy. We have found a bishop who will marry us. Is this accepted by uk as an official marriage still ?
