Birth Certificate For Settlement Visa

[dopster]

Im applying for a settlement visa for my missus and wondered if she needs her birth certificate to apply. She is my ex-wife we got divorced before due to some bad choices and her family but looking to make a fresh start in Uk with my son. She has all the docs and will need her birth certificate when we get re-married in March but I was wondering if she needs it now to apply for her settlement visa as she can go upcountry to get that before she flies over as could be a long wait for the visa and better to get the application in asap. She has had two tourist visas before and didnt need her birth certificate so I was wondering is it a necessity?

From memory the answer is No. The date of birth is taken from the passport unless things have changed recently. I suspect your marital status will be of more importance!

Not sure I am right about this! We are just doing our indefinite leave to remain application and it seems they want birth certificates!!

Wait for someone with more knowledge to reply - sorry!

My thai gf doesn't have a birth cert!

She uses the house registration book instead.
