Northern Mariana Islands Marriage Laws § 1204Records; Certificates; Register.

It is the duty of every person authorized to perform marriages to make and preserve a record of every marriage performed by that person, regardless of the citizenship of the parties, showing the names of the persons married, their places of residence and the date of marriage, and to deliver to the bride immediately after the ceremony a certificate of the record of the marriage, signed by the person performing the marriage, two witnesses, if there were as many as two, and the persons married. Not later than 10 days after the ceremony, the person performing the marriage shall send a copy of the marriage certificate to the clerk of courts of the Commonwealth Trial Court to be recorded in the marriage register. Forms issued by the Governor for the marriage certificates shall be used when available, but lack of these forms does not excuse failure to provide the bride with the certificate and the clerk with the copy required above in substan- tially the same form, and containing the same information as in the forms issued by the Governor.
