I don't know of a contact but is there an Aunt, Sister, etc who is a little more forward when dealing with Officials?

The local muncipal office should be able to help and im sure a local offering some expenses to speeden the deal might help. Sadly that seems to be the way it works over in Phill.

It does take a while for marriage certs to be sent up to the main office.

From Memory the local narriage offices normally send them in batches up to the NSO office and then the NSO slowly process them. I guess they then pile up ready to be sent back as a batch. Unless they make a special case of a certficate.

We were helped by a distant realtive who worked in the local muncipal town hall. She chased up the right people and ours was send up earlier.

The nso now has a flash website (improved in look from when My Wife and I looked at it back in 2004) and also it has a contacts page.

This maybe of use im not sure.

Last thing to bear in mind is it does take a couple of months well apriximatly to send off and get back from what i remeber.

Look at it this way while your waiting it gives you time to prepare all the other Paperwork so your Visa is sucessful

Search though some of the other posts im sure Eljohno asked the same kind of question about a year ago some of the replies may be useful.

got married last june this year...its a civil wedding....after the wedding we have to wait for a few days to get the original copy of our marriage certificate from the civil registrars office....we're lucky 'coz in our municipality, there is an NSO Office, where after receiving our original marriage certificate from the civil registrars office, we directly requested for a copy of our marriage certificate from the NSO Office, which we got the same day...

This might help..
