What data does a marriage record contain

This document is a marriage certificate issued in the Georgian SSR. It contains the following data:

Date of marriage registration.
Marriage record number.
Place of marriage registration: (the specific Civil Registry Office department and city are indicated).
Surname, first name, patronymic of the groom and bride.
Date of birth of the groom and bride.
Place of birth of the groom and bride.

Nationality of the groom and bride.
Marital status before entering into marriage.
Information about the identity document (passport or other document).
Information about the conclusion or dissolution of previous marriages (if any).
Signatures of the groom and bride.

It should be noted that not all data was always entered into civil act records. Therefore, when a copy of a civil act record or an extract from a civil act record is issued, some data may be missing, for example, nationality.

It is impossible to obtain an original civil act record in Georgia. It is stored in its original form in the archives of the Civil Registry Offices or the House of Justice of Georgia, archives of Synagogues, and local archives.

You can order and receive only a copy of a marriage record or an extract from a civil act record (archival extract).

A copy of a civil act record is not always the best option, as it may be carelessly filled out, have a worn appearance, be damaged, be composite, or be illegible. A copy of a civil act record is literally a copy of the civil act book — the corresponding pages.

It is best to order a printed extract from a civil act record or archive on an official form. Such a document is easy to read and has obvious characteristics of a document.
