And you think you've got problems?
On Thursday my wife applied for a passport in order to join the family coven on a cruise through the pacific islands after Christmas this year.
Yes I get left at home with the dog. I think I may survive but perhaps my liver might take a hammering. ;-)

However,she when she dug out the marriage cert it didn't have a number. We have discovered that due to an ancient (33yo) bureaucratic screw up our marriage might not be legal....oops

If it isn't.
Then all her proof of identity documentation will be unacceptable...no passport no refund of fee because it was booked as a cabin of 4
and what do we do then?

This trip has been in the cauldron, eye of newt and much incantations (planning)for 12 months. If she can't go then The safest place for me will be somewhere else far far away. :-o (joke)
Any ideas?

Didn't consider talking to Hatches, Matches, and Dispatches, or some other gov department?.

She can't get a birth cert in her nee name?. Your surname is really only a pseudonym if it isn't legal. Just tick, "Yeah, been also known as "Mrs Inater".

you have so many options

one get married day/after tomorrow in registry office
two the 'wife'..get's a legal name change before the court
three ...well let others think about the issue

Examinator I may have the same problem.The priest that married us got the date wrong on the Marriage Cert.It is out by a day.

No worries ,big brother according to 60 minutes last week has it all solved.People in the USA are already getting RIFD chips implanted under their skins,not only to indentify them,but have virtual money in the chips which can be transferred to Govt and Corporate entities.You won't have to worry about marriage certificates.

This will make your life simplier and safer.So rest easy.

examinator - you don't need a marriage certificate to get a passport. Your missus just needs to produce enough other ID (e.g. birth certificate, Medicare card, driver's licence etc) to establish her bona fides.

Arjay - do you think it's good for someone as paranoid as you to spend so much time online? You do realise that they're scanning your brain via your computer screen don't you?

I'm safe because I've got a tinfoil hat... and a passport ;)
