Translating Saudi Marriage Certificates for Australian Purposes
Saudi marriage certificates are issued by the relevant Sharia Court following the marriage contract (aqd al-zawaj). Saudi Arabia follows Islamic law (Sharia) for personal status matters, so marriages are registered through the court system. The certificate includes both spouses' names, national ID numbers, mahr amount and marriage conditions.
Saudi marriage documents carry the Sharia Court official seal and the judge's signature. Some documents include conditions stipulated in the marriage contract. Saudi marriage certificates may also include entries in the Family Registry (Sijl al-Usra).
