You are not married in the eyes of UK law and to apply for EEA EFM as unmarried partners you should show evidence of at least 2 years of a relationship akin to marriage.

You also probably won't be able to marry in the UK, due to your questionable immigration status. Your best bet as said above is to return to your home country (or go to your wife's country), marry, then return to the UK, legally, as an EEA direct family member.

Hey there

Am sorry to intrude the post but was wondering if u have a religious marriage cert wont it be recognised by the UKBA even if you marry outside the UK? I am an EU national my wife is planning to submit her app this week we have been married for 1 and half years am currently with her in a non-EU country do we need a court marriage cert or would our Islamic cert do?

Thank you for your time

If your marriage is legally recognised in the country it was performed in, the UK will recognise it too. No need to apply for anything extra once you get here. You will need to get your marriage certificate translated to English though.
