That's unusual... they would normally require a passport or ID for identity verification. Do you not have either?

Hi

Sorry to answer now, yes we sent my italian passport and my wife`s Ghanian one, took 2 months to come back with the request of all above evidence.

You said in your original post that the birth certificate is to confirm parentage. Is your child a non-EEA national too? Otherwise the embassy cannot ask for this document. It would only make sense to present it, by your own initiative, if you wanted to guard against allegations of having a sham marriage.

EDIT: Silly me! You are quite obviously applying for PR rather than an EEA FP!

Let's hope I got it right this time: so you need the birth certificate for your child? Where was is issued? It would require an Apostille if the issuing country is a signatory of this Hague Convention. If not the certification/legalisation process may be more complicated. Contact the embassy of the issuing country. Translation will be necessary too.

Hi 86ti

Thanks for your replay.

Sorry for the mess up that i have created from the original post.

Yes, we are appying for my wife PR.

I have three children born in London, they have an italian passport. Actually the UK Border Agency asked for a valid passport for a non-EEA national (my second daughter) which i do not have it because she was born in London and she has an Italian passport !!........... Why? Maybe the BA made a mistake?

The BA also asked me (father) the following evidence including my birth certificate. My birth certificate was issued in Italy from the town where i was born (i got it in the post today). Do i need to produce an original certified translation with it if applicable?
Also last 5 years p60s,pay slips, bank statements showing income as credit entries and or original signed and dated emplyers` letter etc.
Actually i do not have all the p60s, pay slips bank statements for the 5 years, can i show some of them ramdomly?

Thanks

It is totally unclear to me why your birth certificate would be needed. It is not a document that the UKBA can just ask for. If your daughter is Italian then you have to prove that by including the passport. A valid passport is a required document. If you can't do that now why not do it later? If you have included her on the EEA3 form the UKBA should not ask for documents for a non EEA-national.

If you have missing documents regarding your work history you may want to contact the employer of that time to confirm that you have been working. Also, if you have been paying tax and NIN contributions the HMRC would surely know about that. Maybe they can provide you with the required information.

Thanhs a lot for that.


Tomorrow i am going to send all the evidence they requested complete with the family passports.

Fingers crossed my wife will get the PR.
