no but they will when she fills in the declaration......;)

I'm not angry - I'm thinking how insanely hilarious this is.

I've not laughed so much in ages.

Nobody yet has come up with a single sensible reason why a marriage certificate is relevant in obtaining a passport...do that, then I'll stop :rofl:

...OK...so she fills in the declaration...how exactly does that change anything?

Are they going to go "Ohhh nooo, your daughter can't have a passport because the mother is still married to so and so" despite all the evidence that I am the father?

It just doesn't make sense. If they do that, then what? I'm all out of options for proving I'm the dad then, and a divorce after the fact isn't going to make any difference either.

PandG.

Have you emailed the person from the PO to clarify which document is required or rather if a statement will suffice?

(Given the energy you have exuded in the above posts, I would be very surprised if you have not already obtained the relevant email address.)

I have an email...I have the document (declaration), and it requires a marriage certificate if she is still married.

maybe DNA is an option...
like I said earlier I understand that it doesn't make sense to you.. but under british law the father is presumed to be the husband... unfortunatly that is the law...

No, I wouldn't lie on a passport app, but bear in mind it's been over 12 weeks since I filled the bloody form out and sent it...I've been to sleep since then! :lol:

So, you didn't write "I'm effing furious!"? How odd!

Since no one here is your servant and isn't obligated to help you figure out a "single sensible reason", it seems there's nothing more that any of us can do for you.

And under the law I am the husband too - albeit "common law"...if we split up, she'd still be entitled to half my stuff.

Can't have your cake and eat it.

Re: Marriage Declaration - Passport application.
 
The last few pages have really gone off at a tangent, so in order to keep the thread on topic (that being about the delays) I'm moved 3 pages of posts into a new thread.
