How to Apply for a Copy of Your Marriage Certificate

There are any number of reasons why you may need to apply for a copy of a marriage certificate. Whether you’re applying for finance or insurance policies, need proof of identity for passport and visa changes, or are applying for adoption, you’ll need your marriage certificate on-hand. If you’ve lost or misplaced your certificate, you’ll therefore need to apply for a replacement marriage certificate.

If you think you’ve lost your birth certificate, don’t panic. This article will detail how to apply for a certified copy of a marriage certificate from UK Official Certificates.

What is a certified copy of a marriage certificate?

When you get married, you’ll receive only one copy of a wedding certificate, which can result in the document getting lost or misplaced.

A certified copy of a marriage certificate is an official duplicate of the document. It’s therefore a legitimate document that can be used as a legal form of identification in any instance where you require it.

How can I apply for a copy of my marriage certificate?

You can apply for a replacement marriage certificate with your local registry. However, if there are any errors on the form, you may find yourself facing long delays – not ideal if you’re trying to secure the certificate in a timely fashion.

Thankfully, it’s never been easier to apply for a certified copy of a marriage certificate. With UK Official Certificates, you can apply for a certified copy of your marriage license in minutes.

Simply use our online form to fill in your personal details, providing information like where the marriage was registered, as well as each party’s full name and details of their family history. Unlike your registry office, we don’t require your ID or any other documents to process your application.

Once your form is filled in and sent to us, we’ll cross-reference the information with official databases. If we spot any errors, we’ll correct them, and advance your application further, minimising the risk of time-consuming delays.

You can then choose from three service levels ranging from one to ten working days, depending on how quickly you need your replacement marriage certificate. You can find out more about marriage certificate replacement costs here.

Your certificate will be delivered by Royal Mail, and will always arrive in the agreed timeframe for your service level.
