The Bona Fide Marriage Evidence Checklist
What to gather to prove your marriage is real, and why each piece matters.
  1. 01Financial and legal evidence
  2. 02Health, insurance, and benefits
  3. 03Living together
  4. 04Social, family, and community
  5. 05Communication and extra support
  6. 06Special situations, including long distance

Start with the first category

Financial and legal evidence carries the most weight, so work that page first and mark what you already have. Most couples find they are further along than they expected.

Two things worth doing today

Order a few certified copies of your marriage certificate from the county that issued your license, and update your beneficiary and emergency contact designations. Both create evidence that did not exist yesterday.
