We have been there, and gone through that.,.,.,.,"do not send originals".,.,.,send certified copies (1) and then copies of what they ask, ever how many.

But many people from Phils. come here, with the Report of Marriage.,..,.,.if you do not register your marriage, then if you need to go to and "outreach" program, say for a new passport, of other function of the Philippine govt..,.,.,.,YOU will have a big problem. It is only 25.00.,.,.and the copies of all the things they ask for.

Just do as they say.,.,.,no originals, cert. copies, got us through this.,.,..,., maybe other have a different experience.,.,.,.this worked for us!

How long did it take to get your copy of it sent back to you? We have been waiting now for a month even though they said two weeks. They also said do not call because that will slow them down. But how are we supposed to find out if they did not lose our stuff if we are not allowed to call?
