REQUIREMENTS TO REGISTER YOUR MARRIAGE:
As set out at by the South African Department of Home Affairs website
From the South African Bride and Groom, I need:
3 x passport-size photos of each of you.
a letter from your Attorney, (not the contract) if a pre-nup / marriage contract has been signed.
If either is divorced: a clear copy of the Divorce Certificate (Final Decree of Divorce).
If either is widowed: a copy of the Death Certificate.
2 Witnesses: a clear copy of their South African ID book / ID card (both sides).
From Foreigners I need:
Clear copy of Passport.
Clear copy of the entry stamp in your passport.
Copy of Visa (if applicable)
A Letter of No Impediment, issued by your Embassy / Consulate. Translation to English too, if applicable.
An Interview may be necessary, arranged by Home Affairs, if a SA citizen is getting married to a Foreigner.
PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
At your wedding, after signing the Marriage Register, I will give you your official Abridged Marriage Certificate.
If you require an Unabridged Marriage Certificate, I will guide you through this process and application.
I am a Commissioner of Oaths, so I will certify all original copies given / sent to me. No need to go to SAPS :-D
