1. Prepare the materials
Just like applying for a marriage certificate, when applying for a replacement marriage certificate, both the man and the woman also need to bring relevant documents, including valid ID cards and household registration books. In addition, three three-inch bareheaded photos of both parties are required.
2. Issue a certificate
In addition, to prove that both parties have a legal marital relationship, the man and the woman also need to go to the local police station to obtain a certificate of marital relationship. In addition to the relationship proof, a document search certificate is also required, which needs to be issued by the original registration authority or the archives bureau.
Often, when applying for certificates, the person themselves may not be present. So, does the replacement of a marriage certificate require the person to be present? In fact, when it comes to reissuing a marriage certificate, the law also stipulates that there are convenient conditions. The parties can entrust others to handle it on their behalf, but they need to have their identities notarized and also bring a power of attorney and corresponding identification documents.
For couples who registered their marriage in the past two years, their files are still kept at the marriage registration offices in each district and county. The person who needs to apply for a replacement only needs to bring both parties' household registration books, ID cards, and a group photo to the place where they first got their marriage certificate to apply for a replacement. They can get the new certificate on the same day.
For couples who have been married for more than two years and wish to reapply for a marriage certificate, they need to go to the district or county archives to find the registration materials, make copies of them, and then bring their household registration books, ID cards and photos to the local marriage registration office to reapply. They can get the new certificate on the same day.
