Whatever documents you send for FLR will be returned to you. Just be sure to send by a secure method (recorded delivery or registered delivery)

For the Schengen visa to visit Spain, you will need to prebook an appointment and personally attend the application process. All documents will be validated and copied during this process and returned to you. It used to be that you will need to wait about 2-3 weeks for the visa in your passport.
Good luck with the Schengen Visa.
Ohh thats good to hear but I will ask the staff if they can give us 3 original marriage certificate copies. 2-3 weeks for schengen visa??? ohhh nooo!! we are planning to go to spain after marriage for honeymoon
