Do I need a marriage certificate for my parents/grandparents sponsorship application?

In most cases, you need to include a marriage certificate to prove your parents’ or grandparents’ relationship. 

There are a few exceptions. If one parent is deceased, you should include a letter explaining the situation. In the case of a deceased parent, you would include their death certificate. If your parents don’t have a marriage certificate and if you can’t get one, include a detailed explanation as to why you can’t. If your parents are divorced, you can include a notarized divorce certificate to prove one parent is not a dependent of the other. A processing officer may ask you for more information later.
