Classic Rock Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 What would happen if you just guessed a date? How likely is it for them to do all the cross checks? The worst would be for it to be sent back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leah-Lacie Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Can't you just leave it blank? I don't see that it is a vital part of the application. I'm also pretty sure I never had to put anything of the sort on my kid's passports! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeffrey Shaw Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 And the grandparents' marriage date could be relevant if they had care and custody of the child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SueR Posted January 3, 2012 Author Share Posted January 3, 2012 Look - my daughter has just got a passport form for my 6 month old grandson and apparently Section 8 asks for the applicant to give any other information that may be relevant – such as details of grandparents. Shameful as some obviously think, I can't remember the exact date I got married nor can I find any relevant correspondence ... I hang my head in shame !!!! Anyhow, I have been informed that for £9 I can fill in a form with approximate dates, and the register office will process it within a week. Thanks for the constructive replies and to those who posted unconstructive replies, get a life !!!! Oh and a happy new year :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, you can't just leave questions blank on a passport application because you don't feel like filling it in, if the information is required and left blank the application will definitely be sent back!

Dick Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 Yes Sorry. I misread it as the daughter divorced 20 years ago. I'll read more carefully in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It surely must be left blank when the parents of the child are/were not married? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
