I'm guessing you mean SET(M) form for ILR (Indefinite Leave to Remain)

Try not to get too hung up on documents/letters with both your names.
Although that's the simplest it's often not the easiest.
The requirement from UKBA is principally to demonstrate that you have been living together at the same address (and still do) throughout the 2 years probationary period.

The documents should be either joint names or individual.
Caseworkers have to base their decision on "the balance of probability" that have been and still are co-habiting
There's no problem in your partner using maiden name or married name or a combination of the two.

There's really no strict set of documents.
The dates of the letters or documents should spread over the whole 2 years qualifying period and they should be from at least 3 different sources.
If there are problems the just provide an explanation, with some other evidence to prove you have been together at the same address.

Some of the most common examples include:-


Driving License
TV License
Electricity Bills
Gas Bills
Water Bills
Council Tax Letters/Bills
Bank/Building society statements
Bank letters
Marriage Certificate
Registry Office Letters
NHS medical cards
Letters from GP
Sports club membership cards
Insurance Quotes
Letters from Church Organisations
National Insurance appointment letters
Letters from government departments or agencies (eg Home Office,HM Revenue and Customs, Dept for Work and Pensions, DVLA and TV Licensing etc)
Personal letters from friends/family etc
Letters or other documents from your GP, a hospital or other local health service about medical treatments
Mobile phone bills/letters
Telephone bills or statements
Mortgage statements/agreement
Tenancy agreement(s)
Loan agreements
AA,RAC or similar membership
Membership of a religious organisation


Hope this gives some ideas

yes its all a bit worrying ,i personally beleive that whoever dreams all these visa application forms up ,are just out to try and destroy,other peoples happieness,iv lived abroad over the years and have never come across so much red tape ,its rules for some and rules for others as far as i can see regarding people wanting to immigrate to the uk ,the genuine ones are the ones who get treated the terribly,and the rest of them are just free to walk in as they please ,but when it comes down to public opinnion,they class all immigrants as being the same,i suppose thats just down to the common ignorance of a lot of people here ,,any way steve iv just jumped off my soap box for now ,and would like to say thanks for your help
