This means you are applying for a hard copy of the marriage certificate you had lost/misplaced for a marriage that was already registered.

If you cannot provide 1 month notice before marriage date, you will require a Shortening of Time approval from the Prescribed Authorities. We can help you understand and apply for the process.
