Hi,

I'm a Spanish national that will marry soon in Turkey with my lovely Turkish fiancée. I've been reading through this forum and gathering all the documentation needed, but I have some doubts about one document and I would like some input, maybe from someone who has had a similar experience.
One of the supporting documents is:

• - A copy of the EEA national's passport, endorsed by the EEA national's embassy in the country of application.

I'm living and working in London and have been here for more than 2 years. For me it would be easier to certify a copy of my passport in the Spanish consulate in London, but I'm not sure if it's a strict requirement to certify it in the same country where we make the application for the permit.

Many thanks in advance!

It's not a strict requirement. The Spanish consulate in London would be fine. See endorsment.

As a general rule, the forum search function is very easy to use. A search for "endorsment" in the EEA posts would show you previous discussions on this issue.

(I'm not picking on you. Just pointing to a helpful tool here).

Sorry, will keep the search tool in mind for the next time.
Thanks for your help Jambo!

This comes up pretty regularly, it would be helpful if the UKBA updated their website with the precise requirements (form says one thing, website says another).

I tend to never find what I want when using the forum search tool. I get 100 pages of random results that do not seem to be related to my search.

I find searching this forum using Google is a lot more effective.
