UK Border Control - Visiting Spouse - Does Marriage Certificate from EU country need to be translated?

Upvote:3

Because your spouse is a UK citizen, and you are visiting your spouse as a standard visitor (i.e., for six months or less), there is no formal need to prove that you are married.

The officer may decide to investigate the circumstances of your visit, though, to establish that you are in fact a legitimate visitor. In that case, the existing certificate will probably suffice.

You should be aware that the officer will likely look into the possibility that you are planning to stay in the UK longer than you claim. This is a frequent problem for people trying to visit their spouses or other close family members in the UK. You should therefore focus on being able to prove (if asked) that you have a stable and productive life in your country of residence.
