I.
A marriage certificate issued over 20 years ago can be reissued at the marriage registration authority. According to the law, if a marriage certificate needs to be reissued, the parties may apply to the original marriage registration authority or the marriage registration authority at the place where one of the parties has a permanent residence by presenting their household registration book and ID card. The marriage registration authority shall verify the marriage registration files of the parties. If they are confirmed to be true, a marriage certificate shall be issued to the parties.
Article 1050 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China stipulates that after marriage registration, in accordance with the mutual agreement of both the man and the woman, the woman may become a member of the man's family, and the man may become a member of the woman's family.

The materials required for reissuing a marriage certificate are as follows:
1. The ID card and household register of the party applying for replacement;
2. Proof of loss or damage to the marriage certificate;
3. A document search certificate issued by the marriage registration authority. If the marriage certificate is torn up but the original appearance can be reflected, a document search certificate does not need to be provided.
4. A recent two-inch bareheaded photo of the couple.
Fan Neng Law Firm reminds you that according to Article 1049 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China, both the man and the woman who are required to get married shall personally apply for marriage registration at the marriage registration authority. Those who meet the provisions of this Law shall be registered and issued a marriage certificate. Upon completing the marriage registration, the marital relationship is established. Those who have not completed marriage registration shall make up for it.

There is no need to pay for getting a marriage certificate. All provinces, autonomous regions and municipalities have stopped charging for the cost of marriage registration certificates. All parties who have legally registered their marriage at each marriage registration office (including those who need to replace their marriage registration certificates) are eligible for free registration. This means that the original 9-yuan marriage certificate will officially enter the zero-yuan era. Marriage registration subjects can enjoy the "zero-fee" policy for marriage registration. As long as both parties meet the policy requirements, the registration and certificate issuance are completely free of charge. When going to get a marriage certificate, as long as both the man and the woman prepare the relevant documents and materials and both meet the marriage conditions, they can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau for free marriage registration and obtain the marriage certificate.
