Marriage licence, no status

[Buletruck]

You will need to submit a passport at some point in time.

I have my birth certificate and passport which is mentioned as proof of identity and age. My bf said as it says "such as birth certificate, passport, permanent residency or citizenship card" means that I don't have to provide all. Is that true? My passport is almost expired in a month, I am just super worried all the process to get a licence my passport will be expired. We haven't started anything yet as I am super nervous about all of this and would like to ask here first as we can't really afford an immigration lawyer. Would it be okay to just use my birth certificate only or also present my expired (hope not) passport? I can't renew my passport because I have no status (according to my embassy).

You need a valid passport for PR, so sort that out ASAP. You need to contact marriage license issuers and see if they will accept the birth cert.

That's another problem to get a passport as my embassy requires me to give me my document for legal status here. Thank you for your advice, really appreciate it.

Unfortunately it seems like you have no choice but to return home to get a passport and apply for Outland sponsorship.

There's no workaround for the passport. You must have a valid passport to complete the process. Many countries will not issue a new passport unless you can prove you have valid status in the country. If your country is one of these countries, then I don't think you'll have any option other than to return home.
