Country-Specific Knowledge

We Know Your Country’s Marriage Certificate Format

Every country records a marriage differently, and since 1 January 2021 the UK no longer accepts the EU multilingual annex in lieu of a translation. Here’s the most common gotcha for each top source.

🇵🇱 Poland · Akt małżeństwa

Issued by the Urząd Stanu Cywilnego as an odpis skrócony or zupełny. Since Brexit the EU multilingual annex is no longer accepted, so a full certified English translation is now required for the Home Office.

🇵🇰 Pakistan · Nikah Nama / NADRA MRC

The nikah nama (Islamic marriage contract) and the computerised NADRA Marriage Registration Certificate. We translate the Urdu contract, the dower (mehr) terms and the NADRA certificate in full for UKVI.

🇮🇳 India · Marriage Certificate

Issued under the Hindu Marriage Act or Special Marriage Act by the Registrar of Marriages. Regional-language certificates need translation; we preserve the registration number and the registrar’s details.

🇨🇳 China · 结婚证

The 结婚证 (marriage certificate booklet) from the Civil Affairs Bureau, with the couple’s photo, ID numbers and the registration authority’s seal, all translated.

🇲🇽 Mexico · Acta de Matrimonio

Issued by the Registro Civil, recording both spouses, the régimen (property regime) and the acta number. A certified translation is sufficient for the Home Office.

🇷🇴 Romania · Certificat de căsătorie

Issued by the Starea Civilă. The EU multilingual extract is no longer accepted by UK bodies since 1 January 2021; we provide the full certified translation UKVI now requires.

Every Language Routes Through the Same Trusted Pipeline

We translate marriage certificates both into English and from English into any target language. Whether your document is in Polish, Urdu, Romanian, Arabic, Chinese or any other language, every order follows the same quality-controlled process. You upload, we translate, certify and deliver – ready for the Home Office, UKVI or any UK body that requires it.

FAQs

Marriage Certificate Translation: Common Questions

Does the Home Office require a certified marriage certificate translation?+
Yes. For a spouse or partner visa, settlement or citizenship application, UKVI and the Home Office require a full certified English translation of a foreign-language marriage certificate, with the translator’s certification of accuracy, date and details.
How much does certified marriage certificate translation cost in the UK?+
£29.95 per page (1 page = 300 source words). Most marriage certificates fit on a single page. No surcharge for rarer languages. A posted hard copy and UK apostille can be added at checkout.
How long does it take?+
Standard turnaround is 24 hours for 1–3 pages, and most single-page certificates are delivered the same working day. A 12-hour expedited service is available on request for urgent deadlines.
Can you translate an Islamic marriage certificate or nikah nama?+
Yes. We regularly translate the nikah nama and the NADRA Marriage Registration Certificate, rendering the Urdu contract, the parties, witnesses and dower (mehr) terms in full – exactly what UKVI needs to evidence the marriage.
My EU marriage certificate has a multilingual annex – is that enough?+
No. Since 1 January 2021 the UK no longer accepts the EU multilingual standard form in place of a translation. The Home Office, UKVI and HMCTS now require a full certified English translation, which we provide.
Do I need notarisation or an apostille?+
A signed Certificate of Accuracy is the UK standard. An apostille (from £149.95) is only needed when your translated certificate will be used abroad under the 1961 Hague Convention, for example to register the marriage in another country.
Can you translate the certificate so I can change my name?+
Yes. HM Passport Office, the DVLA, banks and employers accept our certified translation of a marriage certificate as evidence to change your name on their records.
