PR questions

[marysol]

Hi,

I will be submitting my application for PR next September. I am a Cuban citizen married to and Irish citizen, both living and working in the UK. My questions are:

1- Do I need to get a recent marriage certificate, or the one I have (approx 6 years old) will be ok?

2- Do I need I birth certificate?

Sorry If those questions are a bit silly, but I know in certain countries, like Spain, they ask for recent (less than 6 months old) supporting documents.

thanks in advance,

Hi, no your original marriage certificate and you won't need birth certs. Your passport is all

thanks for your message Gabriella!

So, I don't need to get a recent copy of my marriage certificate right?

My marriage certificate was issued in Cuba, and it is translated to English and certified by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Cuba.

I just need to be sure I don't need a recent one so my application will no suffer any delays.

thanks

As a non EAA/non EU,you only have the paper form to fill;you are not eligible to use to online form as it's for EU/EEA citizens only.Your 5yrs starts from when you got married (by EU LAW/non UK law applications).You don't need life in the UK test and I think if you download the form and guidance and read carefully* and follow instructions* you won't need a lawyer.I hope this helps.
