Hello

Could someone tell me if you need to have a marriage certificate translated to apply for a UK passport. on the direct.gov.uk web site it seems to only apply for children bor before 2006 any help would be great thank you,

copied from web site:

If the child was born or adopted in the UK

IPS needs to see the child's full birth or adoption certificate showing parents' details and one of the following:

• section 4 of the application form completed with the British passport details for either parent*
• UK birth certificate for either parent*
• Home Office certificate of registration or naturalisation for either parent*
• the passport that was valid at the time of the child's birth** for either parent*

Note*: if supplying the father's details, IPS needs to see the parents' marriage certificate as well.

Note**: if the passport expired before the child's birth, you need to send the passport on which the parent entered the UK.

More info reqd are you in Thailand, marrage cert reqd before 06 but not after, however there are ways around this! are you on the BC as the father..
