Evidence bonafide marriage Translation of FULL documents

[Taygi 0]

Hi,

 

My partner and I just got married and we're starting to fill out papers and gather evidence of our relationship/wedding. (We've been together 3,5 years and been living together abroad for the past 1,5 years)

We're both on the same rental contract, however the contract is ridiculously long. Is it allowed to only translate the relevant bits? (e.g. the bits that state both our names and the start of our lease?)

 

If that is not allowed I can probably get a different type of proof (easier to translate) from city hall where we live, but they tend to be excruciatingly slow. 

 

Thanks in advance!

When we lived in Taiwan, our lease was in Chinese, and it included only my wife's name.......so we didn't even use it as evidence.  Instead, we used other documents such as pictures, a translated household registration document showing me as a resident, a copy of my Taiwanese alien resident card, and 2 translated, notarized personal affidavits from our friends there.

Good point.  My Taiwanese Alien Resident Card did, in fact, show home address...

Our ID does not show address, but we can get a household registration certificate. Though our marriage certification has to go through first otherwise it will mention us as 'unmarried' More delays 🙄

You can actually do without any actual evidence of living together, but any household registration will bear a date.  If the date is before the marriage, then of course it will show you both as unmarried.  Not a problem.  Just a fact.  You're going to sign a form that indicates how long you've each been living at the same address or addresses.  For Europe, that's good enough.  Concentrate on photos together and you passport stamps or other documentation that indicates how long you've been in Belgium.

 

Note that the list of evidence types you're reading come AFTER the words, "In addition to the required...."  Interpret that as "NOT required". 😉
