One can be furious and think it's funny at the same time...you know "If I didn't laugh, I'd cry" type thing?

Yeah, the help and support here has been fantastic. It just reminds me of all the reasons I left the UK in the first place. So long and thanks for all the fish folks!

Re: Passport Delays
 

:rofl: UK can't be all that bad as you seem so desperate to get a passport for your child...:rolleyes:
I will put your toys back in the sand box....:p

hope you sort it out..:)

Re: Passport Delays
 

Actually no...if you recall I did actually mention that it wasn't that important to me, since she has her Canadian one already.

Thanks for reinforcing my decision though!

Re: Passport Delays
 

Really? You'd (figuratively) cut off your child's nose to spite her face?

The UK/EU will always be 20x more important to her than to you. :)

Thank you! I have been flirting with the idea all morning. ;)

Re: Marriage Declaration - Passport application.
 

Typical you flirted to long and missed the boat..........:)

Re: Passport Delays
 

I think I'd be doing her a favour at this point.

When she is old enough to apply on her own, it wont matter who her parents were married to at the time she was born, and she will be able to apply for a British passport if she wants it.

Despite the whole argument, the fact remains she is still 50% British and you can't take that away.

Re: Passport Delays
 

lmao are you serious.................

Re: Passport Delays
 

I was "50% Canadian" for 45 years and I couldn't get a Can passport.
You are being ridiculous now, probably because you can not meet the requirements to pass British citizenship directly to your child.

I was lucky, they changed the law for a few minutes to allow people like me my shot at "my birthright" (which it wasn't, btw).
She may not be able to apply on her own as an adult.

Re: Passport Delays
 

I've managed to get both UK and Canadian passports for two daughters already. This is absolutely the first time I've had a problem.

I'm well qualified in this process already.

Re: Passport Delays
 

They are not asking for that. They are asking for a declaration she wasn't married to someone else when the child was born. She was. ou need to find out how they want the resulting problem resolved. Sending a marriage certificate which proves the opposite of what they are asking, isn't going to resolve this.

Re: Marriage Declaration - Passport application.
 

You must have been tired from the bike ride last night, that's why it took all morning. :rofl:

Re: Passport Delays
 

I realise that...that was the whole point of this original question.

Providing her marriage certificate to another man isn't going to resolve anything for me or the British Passport Office, so I need better options.

Re: Passport Delays
 

Were they daughters you fathered with another man's wife?

Re: Passport Delays
 

Have you emailed the person in the passport office and explained the situation. Otherwise just supplying the declaration, which you can't do, and her marriage certificate might just prompt further questions and delay.
