This is an independent preparation guide, not an official notice or legal opinion. Requirements can change by office, destination country, receiving institution, document type, and applicant situation.
Prepare identities, relationship proof, household details, income or no-income evidence, age/study/disability records where relevant, and the receiving authority's dependency definition.
Why this matters
Being related does not automatically prove dependency. The receiving authority may need evidence of support, income, age, study or health status.
