Registration of Chinese marriage certificates is regulated by the rules of the State Council issued in 1985 and approved by the Civil Affairs Ministry in 1986 under the Marriage Law. So, all marriage certificates in People's Democratic Republic of China must be issued by State Council Civil Affairs Department.
