Copy marriage and civil partnership certificates

If you require a certificate from records held at Caerphilly district register office, you can make application by telephone, email or via our online application process. We will then post the certificate out to you.

We keep records of marriages and civil partnerships that have occurred in the Caerphilly county borough since 1837.

We can only issue certificates if we hold the register containing the original entry. If not, you must apply to the register office that holds the original record.
