I with my fiance went to the Registry Office last Monday and submitted the necessary documents needed to register a civil marriage. I was told that the NSO paper is the one to be submitted but bec it is taking long then i thought of there's no harm in trying to show the Entry of Judgement if it will do since it has a seal. We both were asked few questions which lasted for 30 mins and signed a paper wherein we agree that all of the stated are true and correct. He submitted his passport, divorce paper and proof of address ( he gave his bank statement, 1 page only). I submitted my passport the visa was photocopied, the Entry of Judgement with the Court Seal and my NHS notice as proof of address. Since my NSO paper is still not received until this date i have asked my relative to send me the Entry of Judgement with the Court Seal. The lady interviewer told me that we have to wait until we receive a call from them because she has to send it to the Head Office to check if it's genuine. No doubt about it that is genuine what we wre worried was if she ask for the NSO, so since MOnday we both are very worried about it. This afternoon at about 12:30 i received a call from the local Civil Registrar and told me that she was notified by the Head Office that we now can book our wedding anytime after July 3.
If only i knew that the Entry of Judgement is acceptable for registering marriage then i should have brought with me the paper with the Court seal when i left the Phils.
