Where Are Marriage Contracts Registered?

Marriage Contracts are registered at the Deeds Office based on the location where the contract was signed. Here’s a breakdown of how this works:

• Cape Town (Bellville): If your Marriage Contract was signed in Bellville, Cape Town, it will be registered at the Cape Town Deeds Office.
• Johannesburg (Northriding): Contracts signed in Northriding, Johannesburg, are registered at the Johannesburg Deeds Office.
• Pretoria (Centurion): If your contract was signed in Centurion, Pretoria, it will be registered at the Pretoria Deeds Office.
• Durban: Contracts signed in Durban are registered at the Pietermaritzburg Deeds Office.

If your Marriage Contract was signed in Gauteng, we typically search both the Pretoria and Johannesburg Deeds Offices, as there can be overlapping areas within the region.
