I need to bring my ID card, the original of the household register and 2 two-inch photos, directly issued in the marriage registration office of the jurisdiction. However, since 2015, the unmarried certificate has been cancelled.

Second, all localities should attach great importance to the information construction of marriage registration and ensure that the tasks determined by the Notice of the Ministry of Civil Affairs on Strengthening the information construction of Marriage Registration (Minhan [2013] No. 183) are completed on time. Provincial civil affairs departments should effectively increase capital and manpower investment, and constantly improve the provincial (autonomous region, city) marriage registration information database. Marriage registration authorities at all levels should speed up the work progress of the replacement of paper historical data, and provide strong support for departments with legal and regulatory bases to check the marriage registration records of parties.

Third, we will do a good job in policy implementation and publicity. All localities should unify their thinking and understanding and take effective measures to ensure the implementation of this work from the perspective of transforming government functions, making it easier for the people to do business and adhere to law-based administration. We will work with relevant departments to implement specific measures for inter-departmental information verification, so that this work of streamlining administration and delegating power will truly benefit the broad masses of the people. In accordance with the requirements of the openness of government affairs, the relevant provisions on the cancellation of (no) marriage registration record certificate were announced at the office window (hall), and vigorously promoted through various channels, especially wechat, Weibo, Internet and other new media, to create a good atmosphere of public opinion.
That is, through the implementation of policies and the Internet and other new media to do a good job of publicity, so that the work of simplifying administration and delegating power related to marriage registration can truly benefit the broad masses of the people.
