What it is
This is the form in which you declare, on your word of honour, that you have lived in a de facto union for more than two years, identifying both members of the couple. It may form part of the proof of the relationship in an AIMA case, but it is not the only proof: it does not replace the other supporting documents required and it is not a marriage certificate.
What you receive
You receive the official blank PDF form, with an explanation of what it is for. The Titus assistant answers your questions about filling it in. You can combine it with other documents in the same request, with a single payment. We do not ask for any password for forms.
The assistant explains; it does not fill in or submit anything on your behalf. Do not type passwords or third parties' data.
Things to note
The form is provided blank and must be completed and signed by both members of the couple. Please check with AIMA which other supporting documents are required; Titus Docs does not submit the form, book appointments or guarantee approval.
