Englishman marrying Filipina in Philippines

[Istoryahe]

Ive been going out with my gf for over a year. I was wondering what is the 1st step i need. What form of ID to start the ball rolling. I know one thing is for sure, and thats to have the blessing of the parents, but i would rather do that in person and not over the phone.

Ive looked on other websites, namely Americans marrying a filipina and one of the requirements is to prove you've been baptised. As i'm CoE, i gather RCC would not accept this. Would i need to convert to Roman Catholic before they except.

I also followed the link which someone gave to the British consol in Cebu for the CNI, but thats the last thing i need to do/collect. I need the other stuff 1st which i'm unsure of.

Can anyone tell me please. Thanks

If you search this site there are loads of threads all about the procedure. Do some looking/research yourself first, everything is here.

Use the search top right to narrow your vast question. Or look at the UKBA website for forms and guidence.
