This should be relatively easy if you are in the Philippines; you may need to get your marriage certificate translated into Italian and legalised by Philippines' authorities / Italian authorities. This is basically a procedure that would allow your marriage certificate to be recognised as being valid by the Italians.llp wrote:Any ideas how we can get the Italian embassy to accept the Philippines marriage certificate?

Call the British embassy consular section and ask them how you can register the marriage to satisfy the Italians. They will probably tell you that they have not idea.
Then tell the Italians.
I would suggest, in general, that you get a visa to Germany and fly there as your first point of entry into Schengen. They tend to be a lot more professional and organized.
There has been no mention of translations, but as all legal documents in the Philippines are in English, therefore hopefully that wouldn't be necessary. With regard to it being legalised, I have investigated (thanks to the Filipina on the other thread) and this can be done quite easily via the DFA (Departement of Foreign Affairs) in Manila - so we will be starting that process on MondayEUsmileWEallsmile wrote: This should be relatively easy if you are in the Philippines; you may need to get your marriage certificate translated into Italian and legalised by Philippines' authorities / Italian authorities.
