How to Find the Records

Offices to Contact

Upon certification by the presiding judge, the marriage is documented and each spouse receives an attested copy of the marriage contract, containing its date and serial number. The court will then transmit the original marriage contract to the civil registry office in its operational area, which will record the marriage and forward the information to the civil registry office where the respective spouse’s records are kept, where their individual marital status’ will be updated (from single/divorced/widowed to married), and to transfer and merge the wife’s civil registry record to/with the one of the husband.[1]
