If a surviving spouse applies for widow's benefits, and her deceased husband was married before for well over 10 years with that marriage ending in wife #1's death, would the surviving spouse need the death certificate of wife #1 in addition to all other documents? Or would the full name, birth date and death date suffice?

@ss21274,
Speak to a financial advisor.

There are far too many variables, not least the wording of the policy and the country of origin.

This site does not give legal advice.
