Wedding Contacts in South Africa
Click flag for useful contacts in your country.
While there is no requirement for couples planning to marry in South Africa to make prior contact with the authorities there (for more see Civil Weddings in South Africa), it is in almost all cases advisable to do so.
The Department of Home Affairs will be able to put you in touch with a licensed Marriage Officer if the hotel or other place where you are staying cannot do so.
