Hi everyone. I'm getting married in Turkey and was wondering if anyone knew if we needed to get apostille stamps on our birth cert etc? Booked with Thomas Cook but they don't know! Thanks :-)

Marrying in Turkey
Requirements for British Nationals
Formal documentation is requested by the United Kingdom and Turkish authorities to marry in Turkey.

You may apply for marriage documentation at the British Embassy Ankara or British Consulates in Istanbul, Izmir and Antalya.

1. If you are not resident in Turkey you will need to obtain a Certificate of Non Impediment from the local registrar in the town where you reside in the UK, before travelling to Turkey. This will take approximately three weeks or 21 days. Along with this document you will need to produce:

your passport/identification
your fiancé/fiancée passport/identification;
your divorce papers i.e. decree absolute and/or death certificate of spouse if applicable,
your FULL birth certificate (ie the one showing your parents’ names)
We will also ask you to fill in and sign an application form.

will put the link on your wall

Thanks ladies :-) I did try the travel agent but they had no idea, all they knew was that we needed the birth cert. When we went to collect h2bs new birth cert (lost his!) they said about this apostle stamp thing x

Thank you x

To be honest theyve been a bit rubbish! Just sent off a bit we got in the wedding pack to get a rough idea of costs for hairdressers photographers etc but not holding out much hope lol x

Ive looked on there before but never thought of looking to see who the wedding coordinator was! Shall look now, thanks xx
