Original marrage certificate missing.

Hi

My wife is now applying for citizenship she has been in the UK since 2008. has got ILTR since 2010 passed all LIUK & B1 tests etc. my question is for the supporting documents as we was married in Thailand and our marriage certificate is in Thai language it's in two parts.
1. the certificate its self.
2. the part with our signature's and the witnesses etc.

we have lost the original second part with our signature's on and lost the original certified translation's for part's 1 and 2 but have photo copy's of all the documents.

The same documents where used for my wife to come to the UK in 2008 and to get ILTR in 2010 but obviously they where the originals. so do you think the H,O, will except the copy's or is that a non starter??
I do not want to pay the fee if it will be rejected on this issue!
many thanks in advance to any one who can help us.

Documents are now scanned and uploaded. Originals are no longer sent to Home office.
The quality varies from scan type ie b&w, coloured etc.

Thank you aman90 for your prompt reply, I can scan the documents before I make the appointment at ukvcas but do they still check the doc's at that appointment to make sure they are originals as I would not want to try to pull the wool over there eye's I need to know if the copy's will be excepted for the citizenship to be granted or only originals will suffice . thank you very much once again.

Apart from applicants passport UKVCAS does not check original documents or photocopies unless you pay them to do so. They also only check the quality of the scans if you request them to do so.
On the other hand HO expects you to hold original documents and provide then if and when requested.

Thank you aman90 your knowledge is very much appreciated.
