This publication explains how to make a fake marriage certificate online for a prank or to poke fun to make friends think you’re married. Generally, one must apply for a marriage license when getting married. If a couple is applying for spousal healthcare or social security benefits, they may be required to present a marriage certificate to verify that they are legally married. Even legal separation is acceptable when filing for spousal healthcare and benefits.
How to make a fake marriage certificate that looks real
Now, to the main thing. You can fake a marriage certificate with the following steps:
1. Know the qualifying requirements
It’s important to know the basic requirements needed to make a phony marriage certificate look real. Generally, when purchasing a marriage certificate, you need to have the following:
- Marriage date
- Legal names of the married couple
- For online purchases, you are required to know the city issuing the marriage license
Certified authorized copy: You can prove you are legally married by presenting a certified authorized copy of your marriage certificate.
Standard marriage: To buy a standard marriage certificate, the person listed on the certificate must be the couple or the couple’s:
- spouse or domestic partner
- legal guardian
- sibling
- child
- parent
- grandparent
- grandchild
- business representative: a copy of the standard marriage certificate can be requested by governmental agencies and legal representatives in official business.
A person requesting a standard marriage certificate will typically have to state their relationship to the person listed on the marriage certificate and a notary public must be present.
2. Order a copy now
I recommend you get a marriage certificate online, no stress of designing them or printing them yourself since you’d receive them readymade. I have cool recommendations with gold foil edges and letters for your wedding prank or even if you eventually have to officially document your marriage after saying “I Do”.
Mind you, I do not intend to sweet talk you into buying but rather solve your problem the best way I see works, so go with my picks below for your best interest:
a. Juvale Store Marriage Certificates with Gold Foil Edges
Whether you need this certificate to make a fake marriage certificate free online for pranks or real marriage, it goes both ways excellently. The finish and paper look really nice for anyone pretending to be married for gags. It tricks your friends to think that you just tied the knot and is worth the price.
The paper is sturdy and thick and the embossing is smooth and generally nice without marks below the “E”. You can get as plenty of these as you wish to make your pranks real.
Meanwhile, the gold foil is great! But I feel you should know a couple of things I spotted. (1) one of the copies had a printing flaw below the E in “Marriage” where 26 (no big deal and yours will definitely not have this flaw after we complained about it to the manufacturer. (2) The design looks really close to the edge on some copies, which cuts off the design in the decorative folder where the corners are tucked in. Overall, a great marriage certificate to buy online.
b. Warner Press Marriage Certificate
I’ve also tested this Warner Press marriage certificate, and it works. I had these purchased to use as a photo op for a friend’s wedding. The certificate is beautiful and made with quality paper.
I find myself extremely happy with the copies and confident that you’d want to order even more after your first purchase. The prices are quite reasonable and the delivery was quick. I received them in perfect condition, so no annoying folds or damage to my orders.
Works perfectly for any fake marriage prank in the neighborhood or with friends and parents. I must add that the quality of the certificate is great and even presentable to couples. Received my copies in protective envelopes though.
d. Warner Press Marriage Certificate
One thing you should know about this marriage certificate is that it looks much better in person than what you’re seeing online right now. I almost looked away, but for the fact that I need to test and recommend stuff, I bought some copies. Well, it did not have a green tone to it (as it appears in the picture), which is great. Also, it’s simple, yet delicate and lovable. I’m pretty certain this is what you need to fake that marriage prank to parents and friends.
Note: the selections I’ve made in this section may fetch me a commission if you buy with my link but at no cost to you. You should also understand that I intend to solve your problem here (which clearly is to fake getting married) and not to sell products to you.

How a marriage license becomes a marriage certificate
Usually, a completed marriage license must be returned within 10 business days to the Clerk Recorder’s Office after a marriage ceremony.
The marriage certificate is issued after the license has been recorded by the office. Moreover, couples can check the status of their certificate by calling the local office or even purchase their marriage certificate in two business days after the Clerk Recorder’s Office has received the license.
But since you’re making a faux certificate of marriage, the information above doesn’t matter to you—it’s just helpful that you know how the process works.
