Marriage certificate requested for child first passport application
Posted: Wed Apr 27, 2022 7:45 am
Hi all,
Thank you in advance for reading my post. I had applied for my child's first british passport online from the UAE on the 11th of March and sent my original naturalisation certificate alongside the original birth certificate of the applicant showing my name as the father (the mother is Jordanian).
After 3 weeks of sitting on the application after document receipt (on 6th April), the passport office have now come back requesting the original marriage certificate. This is strange as in the list of documents this wasn't mentioned and in the guidance online it also states that applicant's born (outside of the UK) after or on 1st July 2006 don't need their parent's marriage certificate anymore. Would anyone kindly confirm?
I'm planning to get the marriage certificate translated and sent back to them asap. However, to avoid any further delays I'm hoping this is just an error and they can proceed as before. Let's see what they say on the phone!
