Marriage application documents..Part V

On my 30th birthday
I gave myself the best gift!
That is to complete the painful process of
marriage application documents.

Despite my bad experience and phobia of France Embassy
It was quite a smooth procedures to certify the french documents.
Thursday morning was the only day for consulate services
and no appointment was required
that was what the website said
and i was fearful that i need an appointment 
when i arrived
however, I did not required an appointment.

So, i went into an empty waiting room.
It was more like an office.
When a staff came out of the office,
she did not spoke a word,
a man who was waiting before me went in.
I start wondering where is the queue system
how will i know is my turn?

as more people came into the waiting room
i think everyone was having the same thoughts as me
how will we know is our turn?

Then the smart thought came to me
i realised the security card that was handed to me
had a number!
and it was in sequence 
when i compared to people who arrived later.

So, when the staff stepped out
I just went in
without her speaking
hmm, i must made others curious about 
how i knew it was my turn
haha

anyway it was rather fast
she asked why i required the documents
and i mentioned is for my marriage application.
She just looked at the translated documents
without comparing to the original English documents
and proceed to certify them as true copies.
thereafter i made payment 
I paid about S$30+ per document 
It was rated at Euro18 per documents
but the embassy charged based on the exchange rate for the day
and it was done!

Finally, all documents are ready!

1)Birth certificate
-  new copy from ICA
- Translated into French
- Certified true copy (English) 
- Certified true copy  (French)

 2) Single status
- Certified search result from ROM
-  Translated into French
- Certified true copy (English) 
- Certified true copy  (French) 

3) Marriage laws statement
- Fiance collected from Singapore Embassy in Paris

4) Proof of residence
- My bill with address
- Copy of my identity card
- Copy of passport

5) Witness detail
- Copy of identity card
- Copy of passport

It started as a long scary journey
and now im still anxious whether in left out any documents
whoever says marriage is a easy process
Tell them to try marry a French in France.

The week when I arrived
We will be applying for the marriage
hopefully it can be on the 8 February 2013
and all is well.
