A marriage record certificate is an official document that identifies a legally married couple. The application is either automatically processed and generated by the Civil Registration System or manually processed by local government authorities at the sector level, who confirm that the information provided for the marriage record is correct. Rwandan citizens are eligible for this service.
If the marriage record is already registered in the Civil Registration System, the information about the marriage record is automatically fetched, and the applicant does not fill out any other details. The applicant receives the marriage record as soon as they pay. No executive secretary (ES) action is needed. The ES action is only needed when the user is not registered in the Civil Registration System. When the applicant enters their email while applying for this service, the certificate is sent to their email addresses without downloading it on the IremboGov platform.
The processing time is 1 working day; the service costs 1,500 Rwf.
