Marriage Certificate Requirement

Post by hvaidya » Wed Nov 24, 2010 6:46 am

Hello,

I'll be applying for Tier 1 VISA during first week of December. I have a doubt while preparing my application:

1) If the applicant is married, does he need to produce a marriage certificate at the time of application? Is it mandatory?
Since I never bothered to get a marriage certificate, though I got married 2 yrs back, I am finding it difficult to arrange one at this short timeline. I have been advised by the magistrate that it might take 1-2 months to get a marriage certificate.

Please advice.

Regards.

I had applied without Marriage Certificate and I have been granted Tier -1.

To be logical, marital status has got nothing to do with the Points Based System. :idea:

If you score points with the documents supplied, you will get the Visa.
Marriage certificate has got nothing to do with PBS.

Even I read the form but to me, I think it is only applicable when a 'dependent' is applying for the Visa.
Thanks,
Sumit.

I just got my Tier 1 for myself and dependants at PEO last week. They didn't ask for the certificate of marriage. Not sure why.
