Married to Divorced OR Married to Widow/er
To amend an individual’s marital status (married / divorced / widow) on the National Population Register (Home Affairs system). Previously married persons who are now divorced may still be recorded as married on government systems. These status changes do not automatically happen after divorce, or the death of a spouse and it can take years to amend (if at all). Incorrect status has legal consequences, and you may not get married again until this is rectified.
Requirements
- Copy of both parties’ IDs
- Marriage certificate and or divorce order
