what documents for civil marriage in Phils?

Hi Simon,
I have just checked online and the marriage licence in the Philippines, once issued, is only valid for 120 days for from the date of issue. If your going to get a CNI to get the marriage licence when you visit in June and the marriage licence expires before the new year, then you would probably have to get another CNI because the CNI is only valid for 3 months.

Aye. Reason I was asking about whether I had to be there was if I don't, we could always apply just before I leave which means we'd have until January 10th or thereabouts to get married. As we are planning on New Year's Day, that should see us.

As it stands though, I've just done the numbers, and I just miss out on having enough time to get the certificate from the UK before I leave. On the off-chance it's slightly less time in the IOM, I'm trying to get hold of the registrar here to check. Not holding my breath though!
