hi everyone!
i'm now in scotland just yesterday. this morning, me & my hubby went to his local clinic in livingston to have me registered, however, they asked for some requirements such as home office documents. does anybody here have any idea what is it? how to have one? or anybody have any experience such as this?
thanks ahead for any reply!

Just show them the visa slip in your passport, that should be good enough.Originally Posted by islander
Iain.
i don't think the HO will send documents out any more stating your status, like Iain said, all you've got is your passport with your visa status in that, might be a good idea to take your husbands passport and marriage cert in case they want more evidence !
i just send my passfort,and my husband passfort,marriage certificate,
health card(if u have one from phil.)
just show to them your passport and the visa to prove them that you are married
thanks for your advices!
we'll be going there this afternoon, i'll just bring sufficient docs as what you guys have mentioned. hope they'll be satisfied with it & have me registered!
thanks again!

if i remember it right, we just went there at the GP where my hubby is registered and then told them that we just got here in scotland and thats it, we filled up a form and then got registered there.
and the NHS will send you a letter too which is important so dont lose it
islander first check up they gonna do with you is SMEAR a cervical check up you don't need to be shy in it bcoz all women here in uk age 16 over need it done.
like everyone says only need passports
the doctor will give you a GMS1 form to fill in
regards martin
correct
i didnt experience that islander.......
my husband just asked his gp then gave him a form i fill it in..after few weeks got my card..simple! same as my dental.....
hope u can get yours soon...

My husband used to worked in livingston.

hi ann07!
we went there again this afternoon to submit the form but they're really looking for the letter from HO, although she looked into my passport but still require the letter. this is really bad!

hi sis!hi sis,

well, she knew that i'm on spouse visa coz my hubby is with me. she said the requirements now have changed coz we did mention to her about what me & my hubby read in the forum, my hubby even told her i need to be registered coz i might get pregnant soon. maybe, we will just contact the HO about this. my hubby is just worried what if i get sick & i'm not yet registered. yes, i brought with me our marriage cert. but she didnt care to look.

You will need to get an NHS medical card first...

Then you can register with your GP.

you are taking up permanent residence in the UK, so you are entitled to free National Health Service (NHS) hospital treatment (evidence your visa)
print this page and go back to the or try another clinic/GP
TAKING UP PERMANENT RESIDENCE IN SCOTLAND?
WHAT ARE YOUR HEALTH CARE ENTITLEMENTS?
married to a person living in the UK
How do I register with the NHS when I move to England?
that is bad islander
Is she a receptionist or the gp? I experienced that onetime with the receptionist doesnt really bothered when i tried to register my baby for his dental but i still insistand went straight to my dentist and he gets the form ..thats it! my son is now registered !
hehehehe miss sunny cebu too..but soon you will get used to it.
Hi Islander,
I suggest you contact your GP surgery again and ask them to spell out in detail the exact the name of this supposed "Home Office Document" they say they require, cos it seems to me that almost all of members of the forum that have already registered with GP's didn't need anything other than passport and maybe marriage certificate. Then if there is such a document that no one on here seems to know about, you could try emailing the Home Office at ukbapublicenquiries@ind.homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to see why you haven't been issued with one.
Iain.
i'm pretty certain, as i said b4, that the HO will not send you a letter stating your status, i think they use to, but as others have said, passport and marriage license should be enough..
when my misses was offered a job in the nhs ,and they wanted to check she was entitled to work in the uk, not only did they want to see my wife's passport, also my passport and for me to show up to
sorry islander but soon as possible contact the HO regarding this matter
HAVE TRIED EMAILING THEM & ITS ONLY TODAY THAT I GOT A REPLY, IT SAYS ...
Thank you for your enquiry.

I'M A BIT CONFUSED, DOES THIS MEAN I'M NOT ENTITLED FOR A FREE HEALTH CARE CONSIDERING THAT I'M STILL HOLDING A SETTLEMENT (SPOUSAL) VISA?
THANKS AHEAD!
thanks ahead!

Dont worry Islander, you definately are entitled to free medical care on a spousal visa. I think that the doctors surgery you chose to register with are just being very picky. As you've heard from myself and other members on here, Most doctors usually only require you to show your visa slip in your passport.
Iain.
they are very strict ANO BA YAN? when my hubby registered me in the GP they don't even asked any paper as an evidence that we are married.
FINALLY, I'M NOW REGISTERED & EVEN HAD MY PRELIMINARY CHECK-UP JUST RECENTLY.
well, my hubby called the local healthboard office prior to that & complained about it and they then advised the local clinic thats its ok for me to be registered. that's it!
anyway, thanks guys for all your advices & continued support!
