UK Document Retrieval

In general, you need an official copy issued for each of the following documents for every person in your family line:

• Birth certificate
• Proof of naturalization or non-existence
• Marriage certificate(s)
• Divorce certificate(s)
• Death certificate

In most cases, all documents must have an apostille and have been issued less than (6) months prior at the time of application.

As every case is different, there may be nuanced situations that require additional documents.

The answer depends on the type of document, where it’s from, and what the discrepancy is. Some minor discrepancies may actually be a non-issue. Other discrepancies can be corrected through an amendment process. Still others may be able to be rectified through a One-And-The-Same (OATS) affidavit.

In the case of any discrepancies, we’ll advise you on the best course of action to ensure your citizenship application isn’t jeopardized.
