Where should I get these forms at exactly?

[spicer650 0]

Alright I need these documents so my fiancee and I can be married in Belgium along with here. They say I need these papers.

Birthcertificate ---- I don't obviously want to use my original, where would I go to get a ceritified second one?

Proof of nationality --- Does my passport work fine for this?

Proof of marital status --- Easier said than done...I've never been married but how do you PROVE that someone isn't something? I could only think of having people state and sign that I haven't been married? I'm not sure about this one...

Proof of residence --- Where do you go for this? :/

That you get from the US embassy. It is an affidavit stating that you have either never been married or have provided sufficient proof that all other marriages have been legally dissolved and you are free to marry. I forget how much it costs, but it is not free.

Make sure if they are asking for apostilled one - will have a gold round sticker with raised seal on it - you can order one on-line, my husband used this http://www.vitalchek.com/agency_locator.as...venttype=birth# and he got it pretty fast.

For everything else, the US embassy in Belgium should be helping you (see how they do it in Bosnia: re marriage documents: http://sarajevo.usembassy.gov/marriage_procedures.html)

Best of luck to you,

Hi Spicer,

In a different thread, I responded to what you need exactly in order to get married in Belgium.

However, since you are noted as petitioner for a K-1 visa for your fiancee, I assume you have chosen to get married in the US and not Belgium?

I don't know about all embassies, but the ones in India have stopped providing statements/letters like that. When I applied for that in December, they sent a statement saying that the US Govt. does not keep a centralized data base on the marital status of its citizens so we had to go to a court and get sworn affidavits. I heard from another VJer that they won't even provide those letters now, but you can pay a fee and get a notarized affidavit from the Consulate... Might be cheaper to do that in a Belgium court.

Good Luck!
