A marriage certificate is an official recorded document issued by a governmental authority that proves that the couple listed on the marriage certificate have a legal marriage. In most areas, a marriage record is part of the public record.
Your marriage certificate usually contains who married who, when you were married, where you were married, who performed the marriage ceremony and who attended.
To be acceptable as a legal document, a marriage certificate needs to show the state seal or be imprinted with a seal/stamp. Keepsake marriage certificates are not legal documents.
Is A Marriage Certificate The Same Thing As A Marriage License?
Yes. Different countries, authorities and regions call this document by different names including: marriage license, wedding certificate or wedding license, marriage record, certificate of matrimony, certified certificate of marriage and other names.
