Other consular services

Marriage and civil partnerships

We are unable to issue certificates of no impediment. We can issue a document in English advising this, see our documentary services guide about how to make an appointment. Make sure you bring all the required documentation to the appointment.

Notarial and documentary services

For legal reasons, we are unable to carry out notarial acts in Commonwealth countries. This includes certifying documents as true copies of originals, administering oaths or taking affidavits. For these or other notarial acts contact a notary public.

The British High Commission can provide a limited range of documentary services for British nationals in Brunei.
