Hey guys hoping someone can give me some advice on this. I live in canada and am currently in the process of applying for a uk passport. I thought i had everything i needed but my application was returned saying i sent the incorrect marriage certificate of my parents. They said they do not accept church certificates but the one i sent appears to be a government one, as my mom also has another separate church certifcate which i never sent. Now my parents were married on a uk military base in famagusta, cyprus back in the early 70's, so i am finding it very difficult to find out where i could obtain a copy of the correct marriage certificate i need.

I am also convinced the one i sent is actually the correct one as my parents have never had anything else. Any thoughts guys? Sounds to me like you ticked the wrong box so to speak. Your title says, 'UK marriage certificate'. In fact they may never have had a UK marriage certificate, they may have a Cypriot marriage certificate.

I suspect that the link you provided Isafjordur is for overseas marriages that are REGISTERED with the GRO. If it was never registered with them they obviously will not be able to provide a copy. I do not expect that the GRO is suggesting they will institute a search of the marriage certificates of any country in the world you care to ask them to search. The fee involved indicates this to me. With GRO reference number £7, without £10.

I'm applying for a UK provisional license and providing my Birth Certificate as one of the documents. However it asks for a serial number for the documents provided. Jul 03, 2013  Re: Changing name on driving licence Yes the paper part of driving licence is now scrapped so doesn't matter if it's lost. So should just be form, licence and passport number on form to confirm identity, sign new name and send marriage licence.

On the other hand, if they were married on a UK base by a military priest or minister then perhaps they do have a UK marriage certificate and it should be registered with the GRO. 3400 v6 engine. The person who returned it may simply not have recognized it as a UK certificate because it was issued by the military.

Ticking the 'returned because they don't accept church certificates' may have easily been the only option the 'system' allows the clerk to tick. The question is were they married under UK law or under Cyprus law. That the marriage TOOK PLACE on the base does not mean it was a UK marriage if you see what I mean.

What exactly does the certificate you have indicate? For example my marriage certificate from Scotland has across the top, 'Extract of an entry in a REGISTER of MARRIAGES' (their capital letters) and to the right a Serial number MGxxxxxxxCE (x is a numeral which I don't intend to divulge for obvious reasons) In the fine print at the bottom it refers to the 'Registration of Births, Deaths and Marriages (Scotland) Act 1965. It also refers to the Registrar General. So is is obviously a UK marriage registration.

What does the one you have indicate to the reader? Getting in touch with the Cyprus Registry Office may simply result in another copy of what you already have. So first you need to decide what it is you have. I dont have the certificate with me at the moment but i do know that it read this along the top.' 'Marriage solemnized at St Patrick's, 4 Mile Point, Famagusta in the Sovereign Base Area of Ayios, Nikolaos (Cyprus).' So they were married in a church on a military base.
