Proof of Marriage Translation
- You need to get your proof of marriage translated by a certified translator if it is not in English. Ask the translator to give you an Affidavit of Translation. You'll then need to file at the court registry both the original Marriage Certificate or Registration of Marriage and the Affidavit of Translation with the English translation attached as exhibits. A certified translator can help you do this.
If you were married in Quebec and your marriage certificate is in French
- If your marriage certificate is in French, the registry may require you to get it translated into English. Contact your Supreme Court registry to find out what its rule is about marriage certificates in French.
