I am getting married mid September in Manila. I had an appointment with the UK Embassy early September but I have just received an email saying that the officer will now be away on that date.

After booking my original appointment I put the plans in place for the wedding, flights honeymoon etc.!

Anyway, the UK Embassy will allow my fiance to submit the application on my behalf in August, providing they have the original documents with the exception of a notarized copy of my passport. I will get my CNI here in the UK mid August.

1. Can anyone advise on the best/cheapest/easiest method of obtaining a notarized copy of a passport.

2. Can anyone recommend a courier copy which I can use to send these documents to my fiance, preferably with an online tracking service.

If I send the documents on say the 16th of this month, I figure I should make the appointment at the UK Embassy for my fiance about 7-10 days after this.
