Requests for certificates are processed within 15 working days. We offer a priority service if you need the copy certificate sooner.

We can send it to you by first class post or we can let you know when it is ready for you to collect.

Please note that if you were married in a church, chapel or religious building in Swansea the marriage entry will only be with us if the church register has been filled and deposited with us. If we do not have the entry you require we will inform you and arrange for a refund of the fee. You should then contact the church or the General Register Office for a copy of the certificate.
