Do I need my marriage certificate translated for a UK spouse visa?

Yes. A certified translation of your marriage certificate is mandatory for all UK spouse and partner visa applications. UKVI requires a translation with statement of accuracy, translator credentials, and contact details.

Your marriage certificate is one of the most important documents in a UK spouse visa application. It provides legal proof of your marriage and is essential for establishing your relationship with your sponsoring partner. If your marriage certificate is in any language other than English or Welsh, UKVI requires a certified translation.

Our marriage certificate translations are specifically formatted for spouse visa applications and include all elements required by the Home Office.

  • Mandatory for UK spouse visa (Appendix FM) applications
  • Required for partner visa applications
  • Needed for settlement (ILR) as a spouse
  • Required for UK marriage registration if married abroad
  • Accepted by registry offices for marriage visa extensions
