Not sure why we would need the marriage certificate to be honest, since it has us as being married on the notorized documents.

Photos: immigration photos and passport photos are two diff. animals. Bring the photo instructions in the with you to the shop. They can stamp the back. I can't remember if they were signed or not (or even have to be) since my wife di this part. Some people take their own photos and print on photo paper. We used a shop we always used for passport photos. He didn't even need to see the instructions.

Doesn't say anywhere in the guide that they have to be signed.

Don't have to be signed. They just have to be recent it states. (and correct specs.)
