Spanish term or phrase: certificación de matrimonio
En Venezuela, el documento que acredita un matrimonio se denomina acta de matrimonio y es un texto que, además de los datos completos de los contrayentes y testigos, explica la ceremonia del matrimonio y las preguntas que se le hacen a los futuros cónyuges y lo que responden. Hay otro documento bien corto que se denomina "certificación de matrimonio" que dice:

"xxx, actuando por delegación del Alcalde xxx, por medio del presente hago constar que los ciudadanos xxx y xxx contrajeron matrimonio por ante deste Registro Civil el día xxx, el cual quedó asentado en el año xxx, tomo I, Acta No. xxx."

Acta de matrimonio siempre lo he traducido como "marriage certificate". ¿Cómo debería traducir "certificación de matrimonio? Como opciones tengo marriage record y marriage certification.

Mil gracias nuevamente

abbreviated marriage certificate


Explanation:
If the other is longer, this seems an obvious name to give this one. But it depends on the context - just "marriage certificate" may be enough.

extract copy of a marriage certificate


Explanation:
Por tu explicación, me parece que 'extract' puede ser una buena opción.

Buscando en internet, aparecen varias formas:

- Extract of a marriage certificate
- Extract copy of marriage certificate
- Certified extract of a marriage certificate
- Extract of marriage

Un ejemplo de Canada:
"The Government keeps a record of all registered marriages that take place in Alberta and can only issue documents for these marriages. All certificates are certified extracts of the original Registration of Marriage."



Example sentence(s):
  • The Extract of Marriage attests the event of marriage and specifies information about the date and the personal details of the couple.
  • Apply for an Extract Copy of Marriage Certificate

disagree  AllegroTrans: An extract is an extract from the Register, but not from the certificate. Bad translation on your reference site

Ven. certified abstract of marriage


Explanation:
Is neither an extract nor a certified copy of the marriage certificate.

Compare a certified abstract vs. epitome of title to land.

Example sentence(s):
  • abstract: La verdad es que es un resumen del certificado del matrimonio, no el certificado en sí. O sea, para mí "resumen" me sonó bien, pero ¿es que no tiene ningún sentido?
