Couple
For two applicants, commonly married spouses without children who want both entries organized together.
Couples and families
Married couples need careful DV Lottery review.
A couple may have more than one possible entry strategy, but spouse details, children, photos, and duplicate-risk questions must be handled correctly.
Spouse information should be reviewed twice.
Married applicants generally need to list spouse details correctly unless a specific official exception applies. In many cases, each eligible spouse may submit a separate entry, with the other spouse listed correctly.
We avoid treating this as a checkbox. Names, dates, marriage status, birth country, photos, and contact details all need to match the final application summary.
Children can be the easiest detail to miss.
Eligible unmarried children under 21 may need to be included, including natural children, adopted children, and stepchildren where required. This is one of the most important family-rule review points.
The safest process is to collect family details first, then let staff review which people need to appear in the final entry.
