Spouse name on passport - still need of marriage certificate

[t1s2010]

My wife will switch to tier-1 dependent category from T2-ICT from home country soon.

My name is endorsed on her passport as spouse.
Will she still need to give a 'marriage certificate' with the application?

I am asking this as our current marriage certificate does not have 'couple picture' on certificate itself.

Hi,

I think you should provide your marriage certificate eventhough your pictures are not available on the certificate.

Also I would suggest you to provide your wedding invitation and wedding pictures along with the Marriage certificate. They are not mandatory but definitely adds value.

I did the same when I applied for my wife's visa under Tier 1 dependent category.

if something is not clear, you can always cover those points when you write a sponsorship letter.

Hope this helps.

Thanks kvsagar.
First post on IB and straight answer.
I will try to ensure that supporting evidences are there.

So, you too didn't have photograph on marriage certificate. Correct?

I am asking this as our current marriage certificate does not have 'couple picture' on certificate itself. UKBA has not laid such condition to have on Marriage certificate
