What is important for proving marriage, partnership, parentage, custody, dependency or another qualifying relationship?

The qualifying relationship is marriage to the holder of a 'retired' residence card, and the spouse must have resided regularly with that holder in French Polynesia. The official law does not prescribe a documentary checklist for proving the marriage or prior co-residence.
