UNABRIDGED MARRIAGE
 CERTIFICATE

An Unabridged Marriage Certificate is a computer printout showing both partners’ details.  

  • Home Affairs use the information as completed on the marriage register

​

  • Unabridged Marriage Certificates are official records denoting that two people have participated in a partnership. 

​

  • If the Vault (marriage register) is not filed in Archives this certificate can not be finalised or printed.
