A wedding is always a reason to celebrate, but the authorities are naturally also interested in the event. A marriage certificate confirms that two people have entered into the bond of marriage. As with birth certificates and death certificates, marriage certificates are official certificates and are issued by regionally responsible authorities. The certificate contains information such as the names of the two spouses, and the date and place of the wedding and is confirmed by a registrar’s signature. It is issued automatically after a wedding and is official proof of marriage.
Getting marriage certificates translated: This is how it works
A certified translation of a marriage certificate is necessary if the marriage is to be recognised in another language and country. For example, if you marry abroad and then travel back to your home country, you must ensure that the authorities receive a certified translation of the marriage certificate so it can be officially registered. A certified translation cannot be made by just any translator, because depending on the country, only sworn translators or notaries’ offices are allowed to certify documents. In addition to a certified translation of a marriage certificate, in some countries you also need an international marriage certificate. The certificate is issued directly in several languages and the document is therefore recognised in many countries of the world without additional translation.
