Hi Leigh;

 

Congrats on your 2014 wedding

 

I sent mine to the foreign office.  you download a form and you can pay online.  its £30 per doc plus £6 postage for Fedex.  They send it back in a matter of days https://www.gov.uk/get-document-legalised.  make sure you have the full birth certificate done and not the short one

Thanks lady stardust I did find that page but thought I'd check here first to make sure. Thanks for the tip about full birth certs I think I only have small one so gives me time to get those too. I love this site

How do I know if I have the full birth certificate? I think it is, it has my parents on it etc. But they are extracts only not the originals. Did you all have to get them translated before you go too? Cheers, Charlene x

Hi Charlene, the full birth certificate will have all your parents details on it apparently;  Here is some info that i found

 

A short birth certificate only shows the name, date of birth, sex and registration district. A full birth certificate is a copy of the entry in the register, and includes everything shown on a short certificate, but also includes parents' details and the child's place of birth.

 

Hope this helps as all the legal stuff is so confusing.  Has anyone been told that they need to get their b/c translated into Spanish before we leave??

 

I will check with the Moon Palace as im sure they offer the translation
