Hi, everyone! I'm new here and I have a question. In regards to the marriage certificate, does my husband have to register it in his local municipality? Thank you very much! :)

Hi welcome to the friendly forum! :D:Wave:

Regarding your question, You want your marriage to be recognize in UK so Yes he need 1 original copy of Marriage Certificate (from NSO) and register your marriage at his local city hall.

I am also married to a british national and my husband asked me to request 3 copies of our marriage certificate. 1 for local city hall, 1 for his employment and 1 for us to have a copy and keep at home.

Can I register an overseas marriage in the UK when I return?
No, but you can have your marriage documents deposited with the General Register Office (GRO).

This isn’t compulsory, but it means your marriage certificate is kept by the GRO as an official record and you will be able to easily get copies of it in the future.

Please note: you’ll need to get your documents translated if they’re not in English.
