Loooong wait for NSO Marriage Certificate :-(

No, don't just 'wait' ... that could take up to a year. Ask Rochelyn to visit the Local Registry Office which dealt with your wedding, with the original marriage licence, and ask for 'electronic endorsement'. She may be asked to visit the local NSO to progress the matter there.

I know about this ... we went through it when applying for my Philippine residential visa.

From the point that 'electronic endorsement' is initiated, it should take no more than a month for the main NSO to issue an official copy.

the next day we got married I went to local civil registrar and asked for endorsement letter to NSO, they gave me the papers and I sent it through DHL and had the NSO marriage contract in less than 2 weeks. If you dont ask for endorsement, my auntie from local registrar said it takes 3 mos.
