Birth certificates for me, dependent applying
Long form birth certificate for non-applying dependent (British born toddler)
6 bank statements showing benefits for exemption as well as savings
6 pieces of mail addressed to me
6 pieces of mail addressed to husband (wondering if I can do 3 pieces individual each and 3 joint?)
1 piece of mail within the last 3 months addressed to applying dependent
1 piece of mail within the last 3 months addressed to non-applying dependent
marriage certificate
IHS reciept printed from email with reference number
Passport photos: 2 each for me and applying child, 1 for sponsor.
Current Lease in both sponsor's and my name.

Is there anything I'm missing? Planning to mail out in a few more days.

How are you meeting the financial requirements? I don't see that in your list right now.

My husband is exempt due to his disability and benefits he collects.
Proof of the benefits being paid into his account every month are on the bank statements.
Proof of the award of benefits, ie letters from DWP, I can include if I need them.

That was all we needed for the first visa, so that is what I have. The statements also will show our savings.

You don't need your birth certificate, because your passport is your proof of ID.

You DO need your childrens' birth certificates though, to prove how they are related to you, along with their passports and the letters showing their address.

For the documents addressed to you and your husband, you just need 6 with each name on, so they can be a mixture of joint and separate.

So, you could use:
- 3 joint documents addressed to both of you
- 6 separately addressed documents (3 in each name)

Can you post the dates and type of each of the documents addressed to you, just to check that they meet the requirements?

Childrens' Documents:

- Letters showing both childrens' address

Financial Documents:
- official letter(s) from the relevant government department(s) confirming his eligibility for the benefits, and the benefit amounts being paid to him
- 6 FULL MONTHS of bank statements showing benefits for exemption as well as savings (this may be 7 bank statements, not 6)

Accommodation Documents:

I'll have to get all the dates on the letters tomorrow. Thank you for the list though. I think I have everything sorted, but I'll post again tomorrow after I double check.

That really made things much clearer in that order.
