    That's an absolute disgrace - is it any wonder there are so many sham marriages taking place ? Do us all a favour report your Registry Offices lax procedures to your local Police, The UKBA and Home Secretary (mayt@parliament.uk)

    The apparent inconsistency in requirements to register with a GP may not be such a disgrace, but it's certainly confusing . That's why I posted # 10, with two internet links. Anyone still in doubt as to what is required should print or take note. Be firm but polite when negotiating with GP receptionists, who may be formidable and intimidating .

    Doc - I didn't read your post #10 re inconsistencies registering with GPs - but it is of great concern that a Registry Office doesn't make stringent checks on the legitimacy of foreign nationals, present company excepted of course

    I don't think it's a lax of the registry office.. they checked my passport and visa and lots of questions were asked too. They almost didn't even registered us when Keith didn't bring his passport. Good thing he has driver's license with him showing his details and picture. It's obvious that I still don't have any proof of address at that time other than the mails sent to me of some magazine subscriptions Keith had for me and that Matalan membership. At that time the letter from the GP hasn't arrived yet too. So I think they can accept reasonable circumstances. My point of view only and that made everything easier for us.

    I don't think any Public Body should be taking items such as Matalan Memberships or Magazine Subscriptions as proof of address particularly at present when so many illegal immigrants are using sham marriages to stay in the UK.

    As you say they almost turned you away because Keith didn't have his passport and good luck you got it all accepted OK. These sham marriages 99% of the time are between a non Brit EU citizen (ie legally resident in the UK) and a Rest of World citizen ie the person wishing to aquire UK residency through the marriage - if people have to wait for more official letters to be addressed to them then so be it.

    If you want to post the location of the Registry Office here I will gladly report them to the authorities.

    There comes a point where the waiting time becomes unreasonable.....
