Marriage-related Document

This category covers documents related to a marriage other than the marriage certificate itself: certificates of single status or of no impediment to marriage, sworn statements of marital status, results of a marriage record search, reports of a marriage celebrated abroad, certificates of civil celebration and similar papers. Depending on the country, they are issued by a civil registry, a central register, an embassy or consulate, or sworn before a lawyer or public officer.

When do you need them translated?

• Preparing a marriage file for a town hall (mairie) in France

• Entering a PACS at the town hall or with a notaire

• Proving your marital status in a residence permit or nationality file

• For a French document, having your marriage recognised abroad
