On documents and certification needed

As mentioned in previous blog, we booked our church way back January but we never worked on the church requirements since then thinking those would be easy.  We focused on other necessity.   Until we were informed to attend church interview on September 12.  Church interview is allowed if the other requirements were already complete.  We have nothing so we asked for a re-schedule and agreed that be it on the 4th of October.

That's when we started collating the needs.  NSO authenticated certificates were available. Next in our itinerary is h2b confirmation certificate. We arrived at San Pedro Apostol Parish at about 12 nn and asked us to be back by 2pm since no signed copies available.  Also their office hours in the morning would only be until 11:30 am. Though I know they can do it easily, we just followed the instruction given and paid the fee of 50 pesos.. 

Proceed to Alabang Market just in front of Barangay Hall.  The new office for NSO and NBI is relocated there from Muntinlupa Municipal Office. It was just a jeep away from San Pedro National highway. First thing is to fill up the CENOMAR form, then pay 75 pesos for processing fee. That would be 150 pesos for two Certificate of No Marriage (CENOMAR).  For us to pay the fee of 195 pesos each certificate and have the scheduled date of release, we have to wait for our turn. One good thing, the room is air conditioned and we have seats in line. It was quite organized and convenient. The CENOMAR will be needed to have the Marriage License from our municipality.

Next stop would be St. John Bosco in Makati where h2b was baptized.  In less than 10 minutes we were done.  Certificate was released. It cost 50 pesos. by the way both certificates needs to have a purpose indicated therein. In our case, it was for marriage purposes.

As for my birth and confirmation certificate, I thought it would be easy since I was baptized and confirmed on the same date at our parish before, Christ the King parish. It was the other way around, upon request we were asked to return after several days.  And the certificate costs 100 pesos each.

Anyway, we're close to completeing documents except for the Marriage License.
