Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Marriage Certificate Format

Every country issues marriage certificates differently. We’ve translated tens of thousands from every region. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇲🇽 Mexico · Acta de Matrimonio

Issued by the Registro Civil. Modern certificates list both spouses’ full names, CURP codes, parents’ names, witnesses and the marital property regime (sociedad conyugal or separación de bienes). Older handwritten book extracts may include marginal annotations for divorce or death. All details preserved exactly.

🇨🇳 China · 结婚证 (Marriage Certificate)

Issued by the local Civil Affairs Bureau (民政局). The red booklet format includes photos of both spouses, full names in Chinese characters, ID numbers and the registration date. Some applicants also hold a notarised marriage certificate (结婚公证书) from a notary office. We translate both formats.

🇮🇳 India · Marriage Certificate

Issued under the Hindu Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act, or respective state rules. Format varies widely by state and religion. Hindi- and regional-language certificates need translation; English-only ones generally do not. Registration certificates from the Sub-Registrar often include witnesses and the officiant’s details.

🇵🇭 Philippines · PSA Marriage Certificate

The PSA (formerly NSO) issues marriage certificates in English. However, church or mosque marriage records and local civil registrar copies may contain regional languages. Late-registered marriages and annotated certificates (annulment, legal separation) are common. We handle all PSA and LCRO formats.

🇧🇷 Brazil · Certidão de Casamento

Issued by the Cartório de Registro Civil. Contains both spouses’ full names, filiação (parents), the regime de bens (property regime) and the matrícula registration number. Religious marriages must also have the civil registry entry. Averbation notes for name changes or divorce are preserved.

🇷🇺 Russia / CIS · Свидетельство о браке

Soviet-era certificates were single-page ZAGS documents; modern Russian ones include a serial number and both spouses’ maiden and married surnames. Ukrainian, Belarusian and Kazakh certificates follow similar formats. Patronymic (отчество) is preserved in transliteration alongside first and last name.
