giving notice documents

tfutcher

Hi,
Hope someone can help. I am giving notice on friday and not sure what docs I need.

The website states

British Citizens and those born in the EAA should show their current, valid, full passport or if you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 your own full birth certificate showing your parent(s) name AND one of your parents or your mother's (if not married at the time of your birth) passport or birth certificate.
We also need you to bring identification showing your current names and addresses e.g. a recent utility bill, bank statement, council tax bill or driving license.

Both me and my oh have passports and birth certificates and a council tax bill.

The bit in bold is confusing me. Does it mean we need to take our parents birth certifcate.

My partner was born in 1981 so think he only needs the docs we have. I was born in 1984 and confused about what I need to take

I just needed my passport and 2 proof of addresses. I think it differs depending on county etc. check your county website.
Hth.

Check with your office - we only needed passports and single proof of address

I would ring up the place your going to give notice and would check with them. I was born after that date and didnt need my mums passports- but I did ring up beforehand just to check I had everything I needed. I think it varies from one place to another so its worth just checking with them.

I got confused by this as well. If you are taking your passport as a form of ID then you do not need to take your parents documents as well. These are only needed if you are using your birth certificate as a form of ID.

It really should be worded better, because I went into a massive panic when I read it, then realised it was a passport OR birth certificate with your parents passport or birth certificate.

If it is still worrying though then just give them a ring, they will be able to clarify it a bit more clearly then I probably did

I think that makes everyone panic, certaintly did me as I am from Australia and of course don't have my mums birth certificate.

Luckily I was born 1982, however I chose to show my passport as identity document, purely so I could show I was entitled to live here without a visa.

Anyway my now husband was born in Nov 1982, so just snuck in without needing his mums birth certificate. He doesn't have a passport, so when he handed over his birth certificate the lady did comment with 'Oh just snuck in without needing a parents birth certificate'.

Tracy - the way I read it is if you haven't got a passport and are born after that date then you'd need all that. But as you both have your passports then I wouldn't worry about it, but give them a call before you go you won't be the first or last one to ask I'm sure.

Interestingly enough this isn't mentioned on the Lincolnshire.gov website (I'm sure it used to be when Emma was going to give her notice and we chatted about this).

Edit: I think the key word in the sentence is the word 'or':

British Citizens and those born in the EAA should show
1) their current, valid, full passport
or 2) if you were born in the UK on or after 1 January 1983 your own full birth certificate showing your parent(s) name and one of your parents or your mother's (if not married at the time of your birth) passport or birth certificate.

If that makes sense.

We gave notice last week. I'm a 1985 baby and OH was 81. He needed driving licence (we took that and passport) and I couldnt find my passport so needed brth certificate. As I was after certain date I needed Mum's too. Which was funny as it turned out the registrar knew her dad! We also needed a utility bill, we took our coucil tax certificate. That was it. I dont know why but I was really nervous but there was nothing to be nervous about!

Ps, dont forget cash (my registrary office didnt take cheque or cards!)

Sorry Jemb - I just read that as you were born in 1985 and your OH is 81 years old!!! I thought 'Blimey', then realised what you meant.:rotfl:

I would recommend phoning up if in any doubt. Our office were extremely helpful over the phone in advance and it'll put your mind at rest
