The CNI.........A few questions....any help guys?

[burpiesbaby]

My husband and I got married this month and this forum was a big help to us. THANK YOU! My husband applied for his CNI in Bedforshire. When he received his CNI he sent it to me through FedEx and I received it in hmm 2 - 3 days. I then went to the British Embassy in Manila to have it exchanged to the local CNI. Applications are only accepted in the morning. I went back to the embassy the following day to pick up my husband's local CNI. Your fiance needs to bring with her your CNI obtained in the UK, photocopy of your passport, your original birth certificate, her birth certificate in NSO paper, her CENOMAR, and her passport. Releasing of the CNI is done only in the afternoon between 2:30 and 4:30 PM. All documents submitted, except for your CNI obtained in the UK, will be returned. This will save you time and the hassle of going to the embassy after a very long flight. Just make sure that your fiance brings with her a valid ID aside from her passport because she needs to leave it to the guard.

I hope this helps.

By the way, she needs to bring cash for the CNI fee. When I applied last October it was around PhP 4,700 (can't remember the exact amount). It might be a little bit higher now because the embassy rate is now higher (GBP 1 = PhP 72). Was 1 is to 70 when I applied.

There is no need to apostille your CNI. After exchanging it with the Philippines version, just submit it right away to the LCR for your marriage registration. No further authentication needed.

Hi thanks for the reply is there anything else that I will have to pay the embassy apart from the £64 CNI fee?

the nice lady in the Registry office also asked me if i wanted a 3 month CNI or a 6 month one..i said 3 month ,i hope i told her right!

Also she mentioned if the CNI needed to be "apostilled" ? i must admit she lost me on that one!

Hi everyone this is my first post here, I am arriving in Manila on the 24 Dec to marry my fiancee but I did not realised
that the British embassy is closed from 24 Dec snd will not open again until 4 January 2011.
As most of you are aware I need exchange my CNI for a local CNI and then have to wait 10 days before i can marry which does not give me enough days as I am returning to the UK on 13th January 2011.
I have emailed my embassy to ask if they will accept a fax of my CNI when it ready on 21 December and my fiancee will pick up the local CNI next day as i see on google that a guy in a similar situation sent a fax of his CNI to a British embassy in some other country and it was accepted.
I will let you all know when i get a reply within 5 working days but was interested to see there is another solution by FedEx as quoted below but would prefer to fax as it will be alot cheaper
