PSA-issued Marriage Certificate - Do I need to get it authenticated by DFA?

[jillenaomi]

My Canadian citizen spouse is sponsoring me, a Filipino citizen residing in Dubai. We also got married in Dubai and have registered our marriage in PSA we'd like to know if we need to get our PSA-issued Marriage Certificate authenticated by DFA before we submit it?

We've read the application package that says "submit PSA-issued marriage certificate" and was not sure if it is implied & expected that the PSA-issued Marriage Certificate is authenticated by DFA or we can submit the PSA-issued Marriage Certificate as it is without DFA authentication along with a copy of the Marriage Certificate submitted to the Dubai Courts (authenticated by the Canadian & Philippine Embassy here in Dubai).

Hope someone replies, I've tried reading through the forums but could not find a similar situation.

Thanks!

No need for DFA authentication or red ribbon. Also, you have to submit CENOMAR or Advisory on Marriages as this is also a country specific requirement. Do not forget also, PSA authenticated Birth Certificate.

Ah, thank you so much for pointing out the CENOMAR/Advisory on Marriages. I thought the PSA-issued Marriage Certificate was enough but you are right.

Last question, you mentioned PSA-authenticated Birth Certificate, do you mean PSA-issued Birth Certificate (even without DFA authentication)?

Thanks again, in advance, for the free advice!

Last question, you mentioned PSA-authenticated Birth Certificate, do you mean PSA-issued Birth Certificate (even without DFA authentication)? Yes, no need for DFA authentication. Also, you need to submit NBI clearance.
