Ilr Formal Document

[drummachine]

Hi All,

I cannot put my passport in with my Wifes application as I use if for work. I have added my Birth Certificate, it states I need to back this up with a formal document. Is my driving license proof of my being in the UK 3 years good enough as a formal document?

Thanks All

Does anyone know what is classed as a formal document, section 10a ILR form.

Note. If your partner is a British Citizen without a passport, you must provide his/her full birth certificate (showing parents' names), accompanied by at least one other formal document as evidence of ordinary residence in the UK for the last 3 years.

I have my full birth certificate but am unsure what is the formal document? I am an offshore worker so my passport cannot be used.

Please can anyone advise.

If possible, have a certified copy of your passport made (just the data page should do) and include that along with your birth certificate. You can explain in a covering letter why you're not submitting the original.

Hi Scouser,

I ahve enclosed a Birth Cert and my driving license will that be enough as I cannot get a certified copy of my passport as I am in Spain.

Thanks

That should be sufficient, although if you have one, throw in an expired British passport too.

Hi Scouse,

thanks for your reply. I have added my driving license and will try and root out an old passport.

Thanks Again.
