What to do when you misplaced your marriage certificate? Don’t ignore it as it is a very important document.

If previously you do not register in JPN, there is no way you can get it back from the assistant registrar that had legalised your marriage except going to JPN because the assistant registrar will send all the documents back to JPN. They also have no rights to re-issue your lost marriage certificate.

Every certificate has a unique number. The assistant registrar can only help you look for the number and you have to go to JPN to get your certificate. Make sure you also ask the assistant registrar which JPN they send the documents to.

After that go to JPN to do cabutan sijil perkahwinan. If not mistaken, the fee RM10.

Therefore, be sure to keep your marriage certificate in a save place so that you don’t have to go through all these troubles.
