The marriage certificate/civil partnership certificate that you are issued in Gibraltar is accepted in all countries of the world as a legal marriage or civil partnership document.
Gibraltar is part of the United Kingdom, therefore when you marry in Gibraltar you will receive a marriage certificate that is the same as one issued in the UK, however with Gibraltar stated as the city.
When you present your original documents at the registry office one working day before your ceremony you will be asked to check your names and also your address that you would like your certificates to be sent to. You will also be given a Gibraltar Royal Mail tracking number, this is how you can track the deliver of the certificates once they are issued.
The certificate is in English and there is no multi-lingual version issued. The certificates are issued approximately 2 weeks after the wedding date and will be sent out to you via registered post.
If you are needing the certificate translated there are a number of translators base din Gibraltar that can do this for you, please let us know if this is the case.
The Apostille Stamp – An Apostille is a certificate attached to a document by the Civil Status & Registration Office, confirming that the document has been signed by a notary public or other public official.
It confirms that the notary public or public official is, in fact, a genuine notary public or public official authorised by HM Government of Gibraltar.
The Civil Status & Registration Office is the only Competent Authority in Gibraltar for issuing Apostilles. The Civil Status & Registration Office will sign and place a seal on the Apostille and attach this to the marriage certificate which confirms its authenticity. It is a further layer of verification.
There is also a further layer of legalisation from certain consulates in Gibraltar that you may need specifically if you are outside of a EU/EEC country and this we can also arrange for you, please let us know if this may be the case for you.
