Someone going through UK would be able to assist you with more accurate info. However, I've read on other threads that some consulates/embassies do ask for marriage certificates as well (you might want to search for those threads).

I was told that a Certificate from previous marriage is required unless it's not obtainable. @ my interview i was asked to produce it and my Fiance's ... I gave them mine and explained my Fiance could not get his. Each consulate will of course have different rules/wants .. so i would be sure to clear it up with the consulate specific to you prior to your interview. It's best not to be surprised
