KembaraXtra – Legal Terms – Marriage by Certificate and Licence
A marriage by certificate and licence is a form of marriage authorized through both a certificate and a licence issued by the Superintendent Registrar. This procedure is designed to allow marriages to take place more quickly than under the ordinary certificate process.
Unlike marriage by certificate alone, the ceremony may occur after only 24 hours have passed from the giving of notice. The procedure can also be used where only one party has been resident in the district, provided that person has lived there for at least 15 days.
Another distinguishing feature is that the notice of intended marriage does not need to be publicly displayed. This provides greater privacy for the parties involved compared with the ordinary certificate process.
Because of its accelerated and more flexible nature, the procedure generally costs more than a standard marriage by certificate.
