DID YOU KNOW THAT A LOST MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE CAN BE REPLACED?
If you have lost yours, do not despair!
A marriage certificate can be replaced by approaching the Registrar of Marriages office with the following information and documentation:
- Full names of the husband and wife – as they appear on identity documents
- Place the marriage was solemnised
- National Identity Document or Valid Passport (No drivers licence)
- Date of marriage, including the year
- Letter of authorization in the event that the parties to the marriage have instructed a third party to go through the process on their behalf.
- Payment of the prescribed statutory fee.
Whereupon the documentation has been furnished and the information meets the requirements, then one may be furnished with the replacement marriage certificate. The replacement will now be, for all intents and purposes the only marriage certificate valid between the parties.
Should this be a service you require, please get in touch with our team of legal practitioners to assist you with same.
