Photocopy of a Registration of Marriage

• Photocopies are rarely needed by citizens and are, by law, for restricted use only. They are generally only required for genealogical, court or consulate purposes. They are not for use as identification.

• This is a copy of the registration completed at the time of marriage, by the marriage officiant and the bride and groom.

• The photocopy print size is 21.5 X 28 cm (8 1/2 X 11 in.). There is always an official raised seal and red stamp on the back stating it is a certified true copy of the original registration.

• The information contained on the photocopy depends upon the year the event occurred as Vital Statistics has changed the form and the data it collects over the years. It will however always contain the following information, quite often more:
  • Full name of the groom
  • Full name of the bride
  • Date of marriage
  • Place of marriage
  • Birthplace of the bride and groom
  • Registration number
  • Registration date
