Marriage application documents II

Since the Paris Townhall closes early during summer
the fiancé didn't get a chance to go down and enquire them
or rather confirm with them on the validity of the documents
Some sources say all documents are only valid 3 months
Some sources say all documents are valid 6 months
Some sources say some documents valid 3 months while some are valid 6 months
In any case,
No one indicate whether the validity needs to include the actual wedding date
or just application date.

To play safe,
not wasting extra time and money for the documents
The fiancé needs to get a final confirmation for the validity of documents.

The good news is most sources says that for birth cert is 6 months valid
so, I finally applied and collected my birth cert extract from ICA today

For those who wonder why I need to apply for a birth cert extract
Ministry of foreign affairs informed that they cant certified my birth cert as true copy
since it is laminated
hmmm...I think most people I know, born in the same period, have laminated copy.
Oh well.

So I need to apply for an extract online from ICA
Pay $33 and wait 7 working days.
For an email then collect it at ICA (can be sent via post)

Now the next steps are:
- Translate it at Alliance française
- Certified the French copy at france embassy in Singapore
- Certified the extract English copy at ministry of foreign affairs

Sounds troublesome?
Repeat the steps for each documents.
Who ever think getting married is easy?
