Common Questions
Q. Do I need it in English?
Yes, for visa purposes, you must ask for the English translation format.
Q. Can I do this from a temporary address?
It is difficult. It is best done at the ward where your permanent citizenship and marriage records are held.
Q. What if a family member is abroad?
You can still verify the relationship using their citizenship/passport copies, but other members should be present.
Q. Does it expire?
Relationship certificates generally do not expire, but embassies prefer documents issued within the last 6 months.
Q. Is birth certificate enough?
No, embassies require the specific 'Relationship Verification' certificate which links sponsors to the applicant.
