If the marriage certificate is lost, it can be reissued. If the marriage certificate is lost or damaged, the parties may apply for a replacement to the original marriage registration authority or the marriage registration authority in the place where one party's permanent household registration is located, by presenting materials such as the household registration book. If the marriage registration authority verifies the marriage registration files of the parties and confirms their authenticity, it shall issue a new marriage certificate to the parties.
Fanneng Law Firm reminds you that Article 1049 of the Civil Code of the People's Republic of China
Both the man and woman who request marriage should personally apply for marriage registration at the marriage registration office. Those who comply with the provisions of this law shall be registered and issued a marriage certificate. Completing marriage registration establishes the marital relationship. Those who have not registered their marriage should apply for registration again.
Article 1046
Marriage should be completely voluntary for both men and women, and it is prohibited for either party to force the other, or for any organization or individual to interfere.

Fanneng Law Firm reminds you that you only need one day to obtain your marriage certificate. Apply on the same day, comply with legal regulations, register, and issue the marriage certificate on the same day. The law requires both men and women to personally go to the marriage registration office to register their marriage. The materials required for marriage registration include household registration book, ID card, proof of no spouse for both parties, a signed statement stating that there is no direct blood relationship or collateral blood relationship within three generations, and three two inch photos taken together. Because obtaining a marriage certificate is not very complicated, as long as the procedures are complete, the most the processing staff can do is inquire whether both parties are willing. You can fill out the required forms, and once there are no errors, you can proceed with obtaining the certificate.

Marriage certificate can be obtained without changing household registration. The law does not stipulate that after marriage, the household registration must be transferred to the male or female party's home. Generally, it is decided independently based on the wishes of the parties involved.
Article 13 of the Household Registration Regulations
Citizens' household registration migration, from the time of arrival at the place of migration, within three days in urban areas and ten days in rural areas, shall be reported to the household registration authority for migration registration by themselves or their household in charge of the migration documents, and the migration documents shall be cancelled. Citizens without migration documents shall apply for migration registration at the household registration authority in the place of migration with the following documents:
（1） Veterans who have been demobilized, transferred to other professions, or discharged from military service shall present their identification documents issued by the county or city military service agency or the military agency at or above the regimental level;
（2） Overseas Chinese and international students returning from abroad must present their passports or entry documents of the People's Republic of China;
（3） A person released by a people's court, a people's procuratorate, or a public security organ shall present a certificate issued by the releasing organ. Sichuan Faneng Law Firm is dedicated to serving you.
