Does registering a marriage expose a second marriage

HOME > Knowledge

Registering a marriage will expose a second marriage. According to the Marriage Registration Regulations, if a person wants to register for marriage again after divorce, they need to provide relevant materials such as a divorce certificate or a court divorce judgment. The marriage registration staff will review the materials and approve the issuance of the marriage certificate if they meet the requirements.
