As we start preparing for our wedding, our first task is to prepare the documents for the Church. We were asked to submit the following:
1. Baptismal and Confirmation Certificates - from the Church
2. Birth certificate - from the National Statistics Office (NSO)
3. CENOMAR (Certificate of Non-Marriage) - from NSO
4. Marriage License - from the municipality hall
Right now, we are having a problem regarding my Baptismal Certificate. It's not in the Books of the Church. Good thing I have my Confirmation certificate (which is given if you were baptized as a Catholic) so they cannot question if I was baptized or not. The personnel which we talked with said that I need to present the original copy of my Baptismal certificate and update their Books. If not, I need to submit an affidavit of loss and a document from my mother and/or Godmother stating that I was indeed baptized as Catholic. Such a hassle...
So now, I asked Inay to dig up all the documents at our house in the hopes of finding the original copy of the Baptismal Certificate. If this elusive Baptismal Certificate never appears, I just might have to produce several documents they needed. Wish me luck!
