Dear all,
Yes, Mr Chan sound stern over the phone.. But when you meet up with him, you will found that he is a very nice elderly.. He is very friendly and like to advise on the meaning of marriage..
Don't worry.. Mr Chan is very famous of his professional service. Once he ask you for ur contact no. means he had write down in his diary and agreed to be ur solemniser.. Unless he told u immediately that he is nOt able to make it when u call him for the first time.
If u have call him > 3 mths in advance, he will ask u to call him again nearer to that date to get his JP lisence no. Then, u can do the e-filling. Once u have done that, u shld receive an email from ROM to confirm that u have successfully book for ur date. This is meant bu Mr Chan if ROM had reply u.
The next thing will be jus wait for Mr Chan to call you to meet up. For me, Mr Chan call me 3 weeks b4 my ROM. U can download the consent form from ROM website. If u don't, it still fine cos Mr Chan will bring some form with him when he meet up with u all.. Mr Chan will meet up with couple at the Borders...
Once u done e-filling, u will be given a date to go to ROM building to collect ur cert. Jus bring along ur witness photocopy passport/NRIC, instruction notice, JP signed consent form, and both groom and bride have to be there..
After u have collected ur cert, MUST remember to give a call to Mr Chan to confirm ur booking. If u fail to do this, Mr Chan will assume that u had cancel the appointment.
Hope the info is useful..
All the best!
