2 letters from family or friends is necessary for spousal sponsorship?

hi guys. is it required to also submit 2 statutory Declaration letter from family or friend if we were applying through spousal sponsorship?

I hear that those notarized letters are only required for certain countries and for common law, so you should not need them for spousal. All your wedding information should be enough proof.

Yes, it is. You don't need them notarized but it's possible you need them notarized for certain countries. The application forms are clear, it says two letters. Even if someone says it's still probably fine, why even consider to jeopardize an application over something like this?

Incorrect. The 2 stat decs are only required for common-law apps.

Thanks canuck! I was worried for a second that I was giving the wrong information

Are there some other kind of letter that is required then from friends and relatives? If not I must have messed it up in my head and thanks for correcting it.

Either way, it could be a good idea to give them some letter written by friends and family with their contact information included.

No, there is no requirement for family/friend letters outside of the 2 common-law Stat Decs. However, such letters are always good proof.
