I have just looked at the UKBA checklist (for local CNI applicants) and for them to release a local CNI they seem to now require BOTH the UK issued CNI and a CENOMAR, from a British born male seeking to marry a Filipina. This is of course different to when I got married last year.
"For British Citizen applicant born in the UK:
¨ Original UK passport. If applicant is overseas, a certified copy of the data page; a photostatic or electronic copy of the certified page is not acceptable.
¨ Original UK-issued CNI, or original Notice of Marriage, issued by the British Embassy abroad. Please note that a CNI issued in Scotland should be presented to the British Embassy Manila within 3 months of it being issued.
¨ CENOMAR with details matching those on birth certificate and, if detail/s on birth certificate differ/s from those on the passport, another CENOMAR matching the details on the passport. "
