WHAT ARE UNABRIDGED CERTIFICATES?
Unabridged certificates are complete, official records issued by the South African Department of Home Affairs. They contain full details of a person’s birth or marriage and are required for travel, emigration, visas, citizenship, and legal processes abroad.
Unlike abridged certificates, which only show basic information, unabridged certificates include both parents’ details (for birth) or full spouse information (for marriage) — making them internationally recognised.
