Obtaining a second marriage certificate

Law Office "Olga Polupanova" provides assistance to clients in obtaining a repeated marriage certificate (duplicate) from the Civil Registry in case the original is with the second spouse or is lost. This action is mandatory if you do not have the original marriage certificate, since it is the original (or duplicate) of the marriage certificate that must be sent to the court along with the statement of claim for divorce. Without the original (duplicate) the claim will not be accepted for consideration. After the consideration of the case and the decision of the court on the dissolution of the marriage, the original (duplicate) of the marriage certificate will not be returned to you and will be kept in the archives of the court. Instead of a marriage certificate, a court decision will be issued, which is the final document, since the issuance of a divorce certificate has been canceled.

To obtain a duplicate of a marriage certificate, a power of attorney certified by a notary is required. A sample power of attorney will be sent to you by a lawyer
