Marriage in Philippines - do we need to register marriage in UK?

[help123]

Hi

We were married in the Philippines last year and now back in the UK on spouse visa.

We are wondering whether we need to do anything in UK for the marriage to be officially recognised here? Does anyone know?

Thanks

I think no need because when we register to a doctor they accept our nso marriage certificate.

You don't need to do anything.
Actually there's nothing you can do anyway.
Even depositing foreign marriage documents with the General Register Office for safe keeping has now been stopped.
