For the interview you'll need a marriage certificate.

For that, the birth certificate, and the police certificate, you'll also need photocopied because although they want to see the originals, they only keep the photocopy.

They accept plastic for payments on both visits

Right so bring all originals and a complete photocopied set for them to keep. Do I need financial/lease documentation?
