• Wat. That's something!

    My French partner had to get a certified copy of his birth cert, local council sent it here fast.

  • Yeah, you can get it but if they mess something up and the thing they're sorting for you takes longer than the the certificate is valid for you have to start the whole process again!

    My wife got pickpocketed in Paris about 8 years ago when she tried to get a new driving licence the consulate told her she had to go to where she originally got the licence, who in turn told her she had to apply in London as that's where she lives now. Guess who hasn't driven for 8 years 😂

  • In other news, my wife got her passport stolen in Monte Carlo in 2002, and I flew out the next day with replacement documents to help her get back. I often tell her, if she'd had it stolen in Ostend, she'd be there still.

  • The word "bureaucracy" is French for a reason.
