- Valid identification, such as a passport.
- Evidence of family life in the UK, like marriage certificates, birth certificates for children, and proof of cohabitation.
- Financial documentation to demonstrate the ability to support oneself and dependents.
- Details of any criminal convictions and the circumstances around them.
- Tuberculosis test results, if applicable.
- Additional specific documents depending on the individual’s situation, such as proof of long-term residence in the UK for private life claims.
