Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs

Allows you to request a marriage certificate celebrated abroad. But attention, the marriage must have been recorded in the civil registration records of the consulate.

3 different documents can be issued:

• Let's say one full copy (i.e. the reproduction of the whole act)
• Let's say one extracted with parentage
• Let's say one unrelated extract

You must:

• have (or create) an account Service-Public.fr
• or log in with FranceConnect.

The time limit for issuing the marriage certificate shall be approximately 20 days.

When the act is available, you will have to log in again to your personal space Service-Public.fr: you will be able to download it in PDF format.

You can also request to receive the document by mail (in this case, the delay may vary depending on the time of delivery of the mail).

The document shall include the electronic signature of a registrar.
