  1. I am a US citizen, got married on Namotu Island in October 1994. How do I get an expedited copy of my Fijian marriage Certificate?

  2. I am residing overseas and require a form for Addition of Names. Can I get this online?

  3. Bula, I wanted to remove a name from my son’s name and replace it with my husband’s surname. He is 5 years old. What are the procedures I should follow and does it require both parents consent?
    Thank you.

    1. My daughters father would like to have his name imprint on my daughters birth certificate. Can we get forms online for this requirement?
