    Q on passports, documents for the application

    Hi guys,

    Hope to hear your ideas about some questions I would like to post. My husband and I got married last June 4. We are now starting to sort things for the visa application. We plan to go for the EEA.

    1. Do I have to ask him to send his passport to me or just a photocopy of his passport?

    2. Do I have to renew my passport and change to my married name? My passport will expire on April 2013.

    3. What is the safest way to send a passport in a forwarding services? Any suggestions.

    These are just some queries I have in my mind today, as we try now to gather all our requirements. Thanks guys for any suggestions or ideas that u can share.

    Best regards,
    febmary

    Hello again,

    Thanks for your ideas Moy and Sars.. Please one thing, I have now my authenticated copy of our marriage cert., I have to go back after one month for me to request for the Secpa -NSO. What will the embassy will accept, authenticated or the SECPA? I got the authenticated marriage cert last June 28 at our LCR.

    Thanks again.

    Hi Ann,

    Kumusta and congratulations!
    The embassy will only accept SECPA. So make sure you applied for it through NSO to be expedited. 2 weeks if your civil registrar still has it where your marriage was reported. If not have to wait 12 weeks and still have to apply through NSO and pay for postal check etc.
    As for passport, you may use your maiden name. Takes 50 business days now with DFA for renewal, new passports or change of name. You can always have it amended here in the UK by post.
