hi,
when you getting married?

hi mandy

fly out on 13th september get married on 21st got loads of docs to get sorted its all very confusing

hi again,
we not getting married till may 08 but we started getting docs sorted already,
firstly you need to send copies of
BOTH BIRTH CERTS [FULL VERSION]
ADOPTION CERTS[ if applicable, with short birth cert]
DIVORCE PAPERS[if applicable]
CERTIFIED COPIES OF BOTH PASSPORTS [ make sure the solicitor signs and prints their name and position in firm and name of firm personally!!]
DEATH CERT AND PREVIOUS MARRIAGE CERT [if widowed]
NAME CHANGE [if applicable,must be stamped and signed by a solicitor on headed paper]

copies of above docs must be sent to weddings dept[ we using first choice]
originals must be taken or sent to foreign & commomwealth office to be legalised [£27 per doc]
ADDRESS
THE LEGALISATION OFFICE
THE OLD ADMIRALTY BUILDING
THE MALL
LONDON
SW1A 2LG

when these are returned,[4 to 5 weeks] copies must then be sent to weddings dept, and originals sent off to be translated[ approx £30 per doc excluding passports]
these docs must then be sent to the greek embassy for legalisation[ approx £ 14 per doc we have been told]

13 weeks b4 you return home you have to get a cert of no impediment each from your local register office and have them legalised, translated then legalised again [very tight timescale, think we are going down to london personally for that bit]
copies of all docs must be sent to wedding dept 8 weeks b4 your holiday.
what area are you from? we from notts

hope this helps, if you want to send me a PM i can go into more detail
