British Embassy documents required for a divorcee?


Recommended Posts

Posted

I'm planning to get my "freedom to marry" document from the British Embassy in Bangkok in April. Before I go there, I just want to check what evidence/documentation they really need.

Looking at the official guide I can only find mention of the divorce paperwork. It says I should supply "evidence that any previous marriages have been dissolved/terminated (you will need to show an original death certificate or divorce certificate, for the UK a decree absolute from the court)."

I was previously married in Poland and divorced in the UK. I have the final divorce document (decree absolute) from the local county court here in the UK, stamped with a rather unremarkable/unintelligible ink stamp, but I don't have any copies of the marriage certificate.

So I just want to check, is the decree absolute document from my last marriage and the signed declaration all I need?

If anyone's actually done this I'd appreciate knowing your experience.
