Applying for UK Visa - what documents can I submit in lieu of marriage certificate?
score:3
I will assume that this is the first UK visa application for both of you because you didn’t provide that piece of the puzzle. There is no specific rule governing this situation, so we must resort to ‘best practices’. And “Best Practices” dictates that you wait until you can submit a proper marriage certificate. You told them you are married and (presumably) that you are travelling as a married couple. They can be quite serious about these things and yes, this evidential failure can contribute to the overall grounds for refusal. If you cannot delay your application(s) you can try to make an explanation in the ‘remarks’ section and hope that your applications are not elevated to the ‘risky’ category.
As a substitute, you might be able to submit an attestation from the celebrant, but this would be taken as an extraordinary step.
In general terms, the rules say that the only things required are a passport, a photo, and the fee. Their ‘checklist’ is meant to show what they will be looking for in practical terms. It is different for each application and it is generated by a programme that examines what the application contains. So if the checklist wants you to submit a marriage certificate, then you should (a) provide one; (b) think up a really convincing excuse; or (c) accept that the risk on the application has been significantly elevated.
