Uk Birth Certificate To Marry?

[Viper]

Im a UK citizen now planning on getting married up to my Thai fiancée. Ive heard that getting married in Thailand requires a birth certificate with an Apostille stamp, however I can not find this documented anywhere. Is this the case as there rather expensive things the order? https://www.ukofficialservices.co.uk/BirthCertificateOrder.aspx

Many thanks

I didn't need one (May 2011), just the affirmation of freedom to marry from the UK embassy.

Same here, no birth certificate required, just the normal 27 copies of my passport.

If you have previously been married you will need a copy of the decree absolute. A copy of the decree nisi will not suffice. On the other hand if you are a widower I assume a copy of your previous wife's death certificate will be required.

As stated above, I also had to produce copies of my passport.

The only thing you need besides the passport is your freedom to marry letter form your embassy. Your embassy decides which documents they will want to see to issue the letter.

And not just a copy, an original copy, one with the red stamp on it.

You only need your Full Birth Certificate for a UK passport for your children.

They cost 9.25UKP from the GRO online store (overseas postage included) and take about 5 weeks to get to Thailand.

Not needed for marriage, but you might like to plan ahead.

Your original link is not the official UK government site, but a money making machine.

I hesitate to say scam site.

@Tommo what about if the child is from another father?

Not much chance at all.
