hi....
i think you discharge papers will suffice - however if indoubt check and double check. I beleive i saw that very same question in the FAQ section on embassy webpage - if you navigate through to the fiancee section then check the FAQ it is in there - i seem to recall the discharge papers will satisfy - if in doubt email them including your case number on the title line of your email
Good Luck
Many thanks. And if anyone else is wondering the same thing here is a copy of what's on the Embassy FAQ.
I'm in Her Majesty's Forces/ the Diplomatic Service; I am applying for an immigrant visa, do I require a police certificate?
The Embassy will accept a copy of your military record or discharge papers for any country were you might have served while in the HM Forces. The Embassy will accept a letter from the Foreign and Commonwealth office in lieu of police certificates for any country were you may have served for the British Government.
