We hold copies of marriage certificates for all marriages in Gwynedd since 1837, and civil partnership since 1994. If you are looking for a marriage certificate dated before 1837 please contact the archives service.
If the wedding was held at a church which had its own officials to act for the Registrar, Cyngor Gwynedd’s Registration Service will not receive a copy of the certificate until the register at the chapel has been closed. For advice, please call: 01766 771000.
