You= CENOMAR

Your husband gets his UK CNI from the local registrar (takes 21 days min) then it must be exchanged for a Philippine acceptable version issued by the British Embassy ( by appoinment only)

From Article 21 of The Family Code of The Philippines:-



(The highlighting was done by me and does not appear that way in the Family Code)

Most authorities issuing marriage licence's also request the foreign partner to have CENOMAR. It's better you will double-check at the place you will request the licence.

There's some great information on CNI / CENOMAR / Marriage licence etc here in the forum.
Well worth a searh

We truly appreciate your reply Terpe. But just to clarify, we have no intention of getting married (yet). I will be applying for an Unmarried Partner Visa in a few months. I am now in the UK on a Family Visit Visa (Unmarried Partner) until June and also sorting out documents we would need from here.

Perhaps what we would like to ask is, for Unmarried Partners (us) who has neither been married before, do we need to provide CNI (for my British Partner) and CENOMAR (for me) along with my application?

Thanks Terpe! Sorry for the confusion.
