Hi,
You need to exchange your CNI in the embassy here in Philippines, accdg to the people here it will take 30 mins. You need also your passport , birth certifcate and divorce decree absolute. Hope it will help.. hehehhe this is their advice to me also lol goodluck

Cenomar is the Philippine counterpart of CNI or legal capacity.Foreigner wants to marry in the Philippines doesnt need Cenomar.:NoNo:

You need CNI from british embassy, your birth certificate and passport, divorce paper if applicable....thats the only documents we submitted when we applied for marriage license. :)

It definitely can be a long drawn out process if the marriage is done in church.
Having a civil wedding is much less troublesome, search the internet for stories of red tape that may mean you will have to stay a long time to get everything done :yikes:

A couple of other plusses is that your wife's family will be able to be there and it will be cheaper than the UK.
I have always felt that the wife needs her mother more than the man needs his.

Besides, Filipino weddings are great fun and the reception in her place is so heart-warming :xxgrinning--00xx3:
