The marriage certificate is a formal and valid document, and the photo on the certificate cannot be changed arbitrarily to avoid situations where it does not match the information in the file and leads to information disorder. Unless the marriage certificate is lost or damaged, a new marriage certificate photo can be replaced when reissuing the marriage certificate.
1. A marriage certificate is a legal document issued by the marriage registration management authority that can prove the valid establishment of the marriage relationship for both parties. After obtaining the marriage certificate, there will be a record of marriage and spouse information in the personal file. In order to comply with the records in the archives, once the photo on the marriage certificate is submitted and the marriage certificate is processed, it cannot be changed arbitrarily.
2. If the marriage certificate is lost or damaged, the Civil Affairs Bureau will require the parties to provide a new photo of the marriage certificate when reissuing it. At this time, the old photo can be replaced.
