My gut feeling is *yes*, it'll be a problem. Having said that, not having a marriage certificate is always likely to be a problem, so you're as well getting it replaced anyway. To give you an idea of how much DIMIA like their certificates, we're being sponsored by a family member who lives out there and we had to supply: 1 x Marriage certificate for my wife and I 5 birth certificates for our immediate family members 1 x Birth certificate for my wife's mother 1 x marrige certificate for my wife's mother 1 x birth certificate for our sponsor 1 x marriage certificate for my wife's grandmother 1 x statutory declaration detailing a name change for my wife. They're pretty, erm, thorough ;-) Cheers Choobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jayne Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 :cry: thanks for the reply, i have already been onto the dominican embassy before christmas and they have said that we can pay £70 (small sum) to them to try and find it but they arn't guaranteed to find it. our dreams could be over before we have even begun :cry: i have tons of q's but i think getting a new certificate is the 1st proirity and once (if) we have a new one then i will be back. fingers and toes crossed. jayne.

I maybe painted a blacker picture than necessary If it proves impossible to get a replacement certificate, then I would think that a statutory declaration, stating why your certificate doesn't exist and what you've done to try and get a new one, signed by a notary public, should do just fine. I'd have thought. Choobs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jacks22 Posted March 14, 2006 Share Posted March 14, 2006 Hi Jayne Why not just get married again at your local registary office? Good excuse for a party. My husband and I are just in the process of applying for our visa. It's a stressful process what with copies of this and that. So much copying and signitures to get. Hope all goes well with you. Love Jacqui Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
