Marriage certificate
Which law you register under decides everything else — the papers, the witnesses, whether there is a 30-day wait. Two questions settle it.
Answer both and your route appears here.
Where you will be asked for it
Passport and visas
Adding a spouse's name to a passport, and nearly every spouse or family visa.
Bank, insurance and nomination
Joint accounts, claims and changing a surname with financial institutions.
Property and succession
Proving the relationship when an estate is settled.
