Important information

1.  If your partner is is a citizen of the country you got married in but was not born there, or if they are not a citizen of the country you got married in, they must attend the meeting too. They must present an original, legalised document (either Apostile or the equivalent in countries who aren't party to the Apostile Treaty), that shows they were single prior to marrying you. If such a document does not exist in their home country/the country where they were born, they must sign a notarized statement at the consulate for 12 GBP, stating they were single prior to marrying you. For example, if you were married in the UK to an American national, or to a British national who was born in the USA, your partner must present an American legalised document showing they were single in the USA before marrying you, or pay and sign the statement at the consulate. 

2. We can only accept civil marrige or divorce certificates (we cannot update personal status with documents from a Beth Din or other religious court).

3. If the document is not in English or Hebrew, it must be translated and the translation must be legalised with an Apostile stamp.

4. Any public document presented must be stamped with an Apostile stamp.
