ah....and speaking of the embassy's guide notes, I've just noticed that in this year's it appears a CENOMAR is now also required - this from section A for UK applicants:
• 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.
still, at least I don't have to take a phils driving test for a marriage license - yet...![]()
