We obtain marriage certificates from all Argentine provinces. We submit requests to the appropriate Civil Registry and handle all necessary certifications and legalizations, including Hague Apostilles, before sending the documents to you.
Since civil registration of marriages in Argentina is not centralized, the marriage certificate must be requested from the specific Civil Registry where the marriage was registered. When necessary, we conduct research using genealogical and electoral sources to determine the registration date and location if they are unknown.
Argentina has maintained civil registration of births since 1887, starting in the City of Buenos Aires. By 1899, Civil Registry offices had been established throughout almost the entire country.
The information required to obtain a marriage certificate includes the name of the persons, the marriage date or date range, and the jurisdiction where it was registered. Additional details, such as the exact date of marriage, and identification numbers, help facilitate the search.
Civil divorce was only established in Argentina in 1987, although a few exceptions existed prior to that. Divorces are processed through judicial procedures, and once granted, they are reported to the corresponding Civil Registry. The Registry records the dissolution either in the margin of the original marriage certificate or as an additional informational note, indicating the divorce decree date and the court involved.
Before civil divorce existed in Argentina, couples who wished to remarry often did so through Paraguay or Mexico. As a result, it is common to find in Argentine Civil Registries marriages registered via notarial powers executed in these countries.
We provide Argentine marriage certificates to support a variety of processes, including Italian citizenship (we also handle translations and legalizations), Polish citizenship, Spanish citizenship, recovery of Argentine citizenship, inheritance procedures, and other judicial processes.
