A marriage certificate is a legal document issued by relevant national departments that can prove the valid establishment of a marriage relationship. If the marriage certificate is missing, it must be promptly reissued at the Civil Affairs Bureau.
1、 What should I do if my marriage certificate is missing
Losing a marriage certificate can easily lead to personal information leakage. In addition, there are many places where a marriage certificate is used in daily life, such as buying a house, taking out a loan, etc. Therefore, if a marriage certificate is lost, it is necessary to apply for a replacement at the Civil Affairs Bureau as soon as possible.
2、 Process of reissuing marriage certificate
If the marriage certificate is lost or severely damaged, the parties may apply for a replacement at the original marriage registration office.
If the original marriage registration office has opened an online service system, the reissuer can book a suitable reissuance time online in advance to avoid the peak period of certificate issuance. If the online service system is not activated, you can directly handle it on-site.
If the appointment is successful, please bring both parties' household registration books, ID cards, and three recent 2-inch half body bareheaded photos to the original marriage registration office according to the appointment time to apply for a new marriage certificate. For those who have not made an appointment, simply bring the materials to the site to apply for a replacement.
For those who have been married for a long time (more than ten years), to apply for a new marriage certificate, the applicant needs to go to the archives in the registered residence registration place first, call out the proof materials of their marriage relationship and print them out, and submit them to the original marriage registration office for re application together with their household registration books, their ID cards, and three two inch recent bareheaded group photos.
