• Is digitising a paper marriage contract the same as creating a marriage?

  The Ministry of Justice describes marriage-contract authentication as recording electronically a paper contract issued by a licensed marriage official. Establish whether you already have that contract, need a new marriage contract, or dispute the recorded relationship. These are different requests; a foreign document or mixed-nationality marriage needs its own eligibility review. Obtain the reason for refusal and identify whether the marriage has already been registered. Separate missing documents, inconsistent names and recognition of a foreign marriage. The required application depends on the authority and the record that already exists.
