URGENT Supporting Document - Birth Certificate

[PaulR]

Hi Reader,
My wife is going to MNL on Wednesday to submit the visa documents. I know, it's a bit late in the day to ask about required documents, however, here goes.

I have included my Passport photocopy, notarised by a local solicitor. I have also included both a short form and long form birth certificates, these are however NOT notarised.

Is the notarised passport sufficient evidence to prove who I am? Do the birth certificates also have to be notarised as well?

Anyone who has specifically submitted ONLY a notarised passport and got an okay on the spousal visa?

Thanks
Paul

I believe a notarised birth certificate, on its own, is sufficient.

In our case we didnt submit a notarised birth certificate. We did submit my original birth certificate which is sufficient as an alternative.

So it sounds like you are submitting more than adequate material in this instance.

The BC's are photocopies and NOT notarised. The passport photocopy is notarised though.

Has anyone submitted NON notarised BC's but a notarised passort and had a sucessful visa result?

Thanks Paul
