husband and wife. No matter how many people have seen your marriage ceremony
take place it only will be deemed legit by the judiciary system of any country
when it has been registered. After registration of marriage, the respective authority will issue you a certificate
which will be a proof of this registration.
What Does a Marriage Certificate Contain?
A marriage certificate does, in general, contain the name of the groom
and bride along with the year in which they were married. It does also contain
their ages at which the marriage ceremony took place along with their
respective address and the name of their father and mother. This information is
generally present in all marriage certificate issued across the globe. Aside from this, some marriage certificates are known to contain the
profession of the couple along with the name of witnesses who stood during the
registration.
Why is The Marriage Certificate Required?
Aside from serving as the
legal proof of your marriage, a certificate does come handy in numerous
situations some of which are mentioned below:
- Getting
Health Insurance or Pension Claims:
If you are one of the partners in the health insurance plan or a
spouse who claims a pension of his/her partner then you will be required
to submit the proof of marriage. Any of you claims will only be honored
once the company verifies your marriage certificate and establishes you as
the wife/husband of the policyholder. If the marriage certificate is of a
foreign nation than you will be required to present a translated and embassy attested copy of same to claim the benefits offered.

nations and you are thinking of moving into either one of the countries
then the partner from another country
will require a marriage certificate only after which he will be declared
as the legal citizen of the new
nation. If you don’t have the certificate the process of obtaining the
citizenship might be difficult.

the permission to get married however a marriage certificate is a proof that a couple actually got married and
