How to apply for marriage licence?

[Cmitchell]

How can I apply for a marriage licence when I ave lost my birth certificate?

I do have a valid 10 year UK passport. So do I have to go about applying for a new birth certificate first using the passport? Or could i apply for the marriage licence with just my passport?

& IF I do have to go about applying for a new birth certificate, then how on earth do I do that??? (I was born in the UK)

Many thanks in advance, All help will be much appreciated :)

I got a copy of my birth certificate,
I did it through the site of the council i was borm in,
I entered my details, my d.o.b, my parents names and it cost �23, and a couple of weeks later it turned up in the post :)
Hope that is some help

You can order a copy of your birth certificate (or anyone else's come to that) here:

You won't need your passport.

Birth certificates only cost �7, don't pay more than that.
