How do I go about getting an official copy of my parents marriage certificate from Zimbabwe?

They were married in 1977, in Salsibury, Rhodesia. (Now Harare, Zimbabwe).


I now live in South Africa.


I would like to know:


1) any web sites that you can order from.


2) costs involved


3) can it be ordered and posted to me.How do I go about getting an official copy of my parents marriage certificate from Zimbabwe?
There should be private agencies that handle this type of services, even in Zimbabwe. Try searching the internet or listings in local newspapers. Maybe even contacting the High Commission of Zimbabwe in Pretoria or the nearest Consulate of Zimbabwe in South Africa (there is one in Johannesburg and another in Cape Town) could be worth a try, even if it's a long shot.





Good luck!How do I go about getting an official copy of my parents marriage certificate from Zimbabwe?
