British Columbia Affidavit of Marriage

If you cannot obtain your certificate of marriage, you can still apply for divorce in British Columbia. The reason that your certificate of marriage cannot be obtained must be set out in a sworn affidavit of marriage, which must be filed with the court. The court must accept your explanation in order to proceed with your divorce in British Columbia.

The British Columbia Supreme Court expects that the certificate of marriage is impossible for you to obtain. There are many possible reasons for this but the most common reason is that the place of marriage will not accept requests by mail and requires that all requests be made in person. This is generally not the case for marriages that took place in North America or Western Europe. Some other possible reasons are the loss of the marriage records due to war or natural disaster, for example.

The affidavit of marriage must be sworn before a notary or commissioner for taking affidavits. You must file the sworn affidavit of marriage with the British Columbia Supreme Court together with the forms for stage 1 of your divorce.
