About this translation

In South Africa, marriages are registered by the Department of Home Affairs, which issues marriage certificates. The certificate usually shows the identity of both spouses and their ID numbers, and the date and place of the marriage; the unabridged version contains more information than the abridged one. Check with the authority handling your file which version it expects.

When do you need it translated?

  • A residence permit as the spouse of a French national, at the préfecture

  • A declaration of French nationality by marriage

  • Recording the marriage in French civil status (transcription)

  • An estate, a property purchase or a matrimonial regime question with a notaire
