Married couple changing passports with only one marriage certificate?

Foxeak

Hi,
Husband and I got married over 7 years ago, and chose to double-barrel our names. We had only just renewed our passports a year or so before the wedding and we didn't see the point in paying out for new ones and have travelled in our former surnames since. 
We recently decided to get the passports sorted out, and this week we both applied online, paid, and have our old passports ready to send in. There is a slight problem in that we can only find one copy of our marriage certificate! Does anyone know if it is possible to send both passports in the same envelope, with the one certificate? Thanks for any help or advice anyone can give!

Can you not just send them off one at a time and use the same marriage certificate again when it’s returned?

I would recommend you get some certified copies of your marriage certificate because the passport office is notorious for losing documents! Phone and ask about 1 certificate for you both. Common sense says it will be fine but government departments rarely work that way.

Just send one with the cert then send the other once you get the cert back, or just order another copy of the cert.

Why not make 2 appointments with the passport office and go together?

A new marriage certificate from the General Register Office costs about £12 and comes within a week

In my recent experience the passport office is super fast turning passports around (Sent old one 3rd of Jan new one received 7th)  Just send one then the other.
