Hi!

Is there a way to know if DFA already sent our marriage certificate to PSA? We got married outside of the country. I already reported our marriage at the consulate and got transmittal details of our ROM on 1st August 2023. 

We are planning to have a church wedding in the Philippines this coming December and a PSA copy of our marriage certificate is one of the requirements.  Is there a way to request DFA to expedite the submission of Marriage certificate to PSA?

Thank you
