    CNI question

    Good day everyone!

    I have a question to those who were able to get the local CNI from UK Embassy. My boyfriend will be getting his CNI on Feb 7 in Nottingham. He'll bring it with him on April. I already have my CENOMAR and birth cerificate except for the passport. Do we need to bring my passport when we're going to get the local CNI from the embassy?

    Thank you.

    You dont need yourFilipinas passport for the cni exchange

    When I collected mine in Cebu My fiance didnt need to attend but I did need to take her Id in her case Postal, Her NSO birth Certificate Cenomar

    They cant insist on a passport just a recognised Picture ID

    I haven't been out of the country so I didn't bother getting a passport. My boyfriend will be asking UK embassy if we need my passport if we'll have his CNI change to a local one. Crossing fingers that we don't need one.

    Well its true of course any one can say whatever they like and very often do but its NO business of the British Government to insist other soveriegn states citizens should have a passport to marry a brit

    I shall dash off a quick note to the Times

    Perhaps the Receptionist was thinking ahead on your behalf lol

    Well, what if the lady had never been anywhere before, not all Filipinos have been or worked abroad, so it cannot be a rule .. can it ?

    thats right.. not all filiponos have passports. They cant just assume that since the person is about to marry a foreign citizen then they'll have a passport. im sure its just a misinterpretation.. but still RIDICULOUS! They have to look at the correct rules if they were to work at a British Embassy.

    While you're at it, Keith perhaps you might include the following question:-

    "Since the *British Embassy in Manila comes under the jurisdiction of the UK Government, why IS it that OUR citizens should be compelled to fork out a substantial additional fee [in Php] to *them in order to exchange their Certificates of No Impediment for a (less detailed) Phils version ... when they've already obtained an original from - and paid thirty-odd quid for it - at their local Registry Office back home?" It's a system!

    And ... just for the record ... I'm fairly sure Filipina/o fiance(e)s are asked to produce their passports - mine certainly was!

    Is it really just £30+ ? I thought we have to pay £64 to have it posted at the Regitrars Office then another £64 to have the actual certificate?

    Or is it different if you apply in person through the local register? Hope it really is just £30+.

    f your prepared then even if you get an illinformed staff member you can "politly" educate them if not ask for their supervisor up and up till you find someone who does know the rules.

    These folk are employed by the British Embassy and need to be brought up to speed on the real rules,

    Philipines offices often make them up or incorrectly interpret them
