Relationship Evidence PDF Template: Structure and Example
A practical, visa-neutral structure for turning genuine photos, travel records and communication into a readable relationship evidence PDF.
Reviewed against official guidance linked below. Last updated 2 August 2026.
Quick answer
A useful relationship evidence PDF template starts with a cover and one-page chronology, then groups selected evidence by date or relationship stage. Every exhibit should remain readable and include only the context needed to understand it.
Practical evidence checklist
- Cover page with both names and the application context
- One-page relationship summary or timeline
- Chronological sections for visits, milestones and time apart
- Short captions with date, place, people and relevance
- Readable screenshots and records with important details visible
- Page numbers and a simple contents or exhibit index
- Final cross-check against the authority’s official checklist
A simple page order
This is an organizational starting point, not an official government form. Remove sections that do not apply and never add evidence merely to fill a template.
- Cover page
- Relationship overview
- How you met
- Visits and shared travel
- Life together and family involvement
- Communication during separation
- Shared responsibilities and future plans
- Optional exhibit index
Write captions for a reviewer
A useful caption answers four questions: when, where, who and why the item is relevant. For example: “12 May 2025, Budapest: Anna and Sam celebrating Anna’s mother’s birthday with her family.” Avoid dramatic claims and keep descriptions consistent with the underlying record.
Protect privacy and document integrity
Include only information needed for the application. Redact unrelated account numbers or private third-party conversations where appropriate, but do not alter dates, names or facts. Keep original files in case the authority requests them.
