When applying for a UK spouse visa, you may need to have certain documents apostilled, particularly if they are issued outside the UK. Apostilling ensures that the documents are recognized as valid by authorities in the UK. Here are some key documents that typically need to be apostilled for a UK spouse visa application: Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificates, Divorce Certificate, Police Clearance Certificate, and Financial Documents (such as bank statements, tax records, or employment letters issued outside the UK may need to be apostilled to confirm their authenticity)

Note that not all documents require an apostille. Some documents, such as those issued in the UK (e.g., UK marriage certificates or birth certificates), do not need to be apostilled. It's important to check the specific requirements based on your country of residence and the UK visa guidelines. Always consult the official UK government website or an immigration lawyer for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
