Just came across a small hitch. Girlfriend doesn't have a passport just a German ID card which is accepted everywhere in Europe and the USA and Australia but not in BG.
Dec 19th Gemma, the problem is we are waiting for an origional birth cert. to be issued in Germany then that has to be sent here then the application goes to the German embassy in London who pass it on to the German embassy in Berlin who send it back to London then it gets forwarded here.

Sune,
I called today and spoke to the German Embassy in London. We've now had the 3rd version of requirements and have decided to go to London next week with all of the various documents that they require and let them choose what to do when we get there.
They also say that at the same time that we apply for the tempory passport we have to apply for the full passport. Not a problem but they didn't tell us that before.
We also need the Abmeldebestaetigung and other documents not a problem but they didn't say that before either. They also told me to ignore their website because it was full of misleading information and not all of the application forms could be downloaded from there.
