Hi everyone
Im new here but have been lurking since last year trying to learn everything I needed to know to bring my mahal to UK. Now that Im ready to get married so I have decided to join this wonderful forum
Ok so I fall under the "For British applicant who is naturalized and was born in the Philippines" and according to the check list I would need to bring my "Naturalisation certificate"
So far these are the documents we have as listed below and my main question is regarding the "Naturalisation certificate"
My documents :
Valid British passport
CNI (From UK)
Naturalisation certificate (From UK)
Birth certificate (From NSO)
CENOMAR (From NSO)
Her documents :
Original Filipino passport
Birth certificate (From NSO)
CENOMAR (From NSO)
1) If I understand it correctly this Naturalisation certificate is a certificate given to me when I became British? This document was issued back in 1984 and Im wondering if I needed to get the newer version? or the old original will do?
2) My NSO issued birth certificate print doesn't look too clear. We did get another one but it seems that NSO overlayed the copy of the original onto their new coloured paper and the result was barely legible text. Will there be any issue with this? I do have my original non NSO birth certificate issued in the Philippines and the paper is really old but at least it is much clearer. I will bring this with me of course.
3) Most what I read here state that UK CNI expires in 3 months from the time of issue or the time of application? According to another site it says England and Wales is 6 months and Scotland is only 3 months?
4) Spelling mistake on my mahal home address. It says south cotobato instead of south cotabato. I guess this shouldn't be a problem?
5) Both the NSO birth certificate and CENOMAR expires in 3 months? we got the timing wrong and I couldn't book a flight in time and the CENOMAR will expire soon. How easy is it to re apply for the CENOMAR?
Is there anything I miss there? I think that's it for now. Cheers
