To start the process, you must first register an intention to marry with the Department of Home Affairs and apply for a marriage certificate. Couples must apply for a Department of Home Affairs marriage certificate at least three months prior to the wedding date.

  • Home affairs marriage forms are available on request. Submit the forms along with the relevant supporting documentation:

  • Both passports, if one partner is not South African

  • A complete BI-31 form, which declares that you may legally marry
