Hiya,Yes Definitely need to have it a Red Ribbon Stamped and some of the documents need to notarized it, too.
Well, the most important thing to do is: make sure u got all the original documents before u submitted it in UK-Embassy (Phil-Axa).i.e Cenomar( Certificate of no marriage), National Bureau of Investigation (NBI), Employment Certificate, Baptismal and Confirmation Certificate (if u are going to marry abroad; Optional ). I Believe, You need to authenticated these documents. And also, the Certificate of Employment, Baptismal &Confirmation Certificate, it should be notarized.
Authentication fee cost: 100 pesos per doc.
Affidavit cost:200 peso (near the Dfa area)
Notarized (Hall of Justice-Pasay City): before 50 pesos up (as of june 2009)
Note: Authentication Releasing days-5 days (more or less)
These Authenticated docs also are recognized abroad.So, a big help for you too.
In a near future by accomplishing these things, it requires patience and determination to do so.
God bless u both!
Mabuhay kababayan!
