Certificate of Finality

[VilmaF 0]

Hello,

A friend of mine tried to get a copy of her annulment paper from the court (because she never received the copy) but she was advised to pay P15,000.

- Is it true that to get a copy of Certificate of Finality from the court, the requestor has to pay P15,000? Her fiance will be filing K-1 visa application soon and she needs this document.

- to get an annotated copy of her Marriage certificate (from previous marriage), will NSO accept photocopy of the Annulment decree, photocopy of Finality and photocopy of Certificate of registration.

- Where can she get the Certificate of registration?

- How long does it take for NSO to release the annotated MC?

Thanks.

You should get the name of that court employee and report it to Imbestigador! Anyway i only paid mine for 350 pesos or i thinks its 500(i have a receipt for that) plus another 500 pesos and a box of cake for the employee who helps me with the papers i needed. I can't remember but i have the receipt somewhere. The Clerk of Court will have to notarize the Certificate of Finality and have it stamped & signed "Certified True Copy" so that is the one you are going to pay. NSO & Local Civil Registrar will need the certified true copy so your friend needs to ask multiple of copies. Your friend should ask her Local Civil Registrar where to get the Certificate of Registration. Oh and she needs to ask endorsement letter addressed to NSO in East Avenue from her Local Civil Registrar so that she can file the annotated MC. It took me 2 weeks to get my annotated MC from the day i filed at the NSO. You should tell your friend not to forget the Annulment Decree cause that is the most important document they will ask at the US embassy aside from the Court Decision. I have read posts here before that they will not ask for the Certificate of Registration at the US embassy but I have it anyway. You can PM me if you have further questions. I'll be glad to help.

Go to the local registrar that your annulment was processed through and ask for a certified copy. There will be a fee so be prepared with money to pay.

In the Philippines most municipalities require a CENOMAR or CEMAR - w/annotation.
