Did you submit your Original Passport or a Certified Copy of it for a Visa Application?

Hi guys,

Just wondering what the % split is between the no. of people here who submitted their passport - as part of their wife's visa application - versus the number of us who submitted a certified copy instead?

For those who submitted a certified copy, did you guys get the Passport Office to certify:

A The bio data page & the page with all your Philippines border patrol stamps?

or

B The bio data page only?

I walked out of the Passport Office today, and completely forgot to ask them to certify the stamped up page ... so I'm disappointed!

Answer for us: A

I don't think it's a good idea submitting your original passport with your wife's application in the Philippines. They would only require you to submit a certified copy. Applying here in the UK is different though. Your original passport will be required.
