• If baptized within North America, a new certificate needs to be issued within six months before your wedding date.
• If baptized overseas, where getting a new Baptismal Certificate may be difficult (eg., remote village, war-torn country), then getting a new one issued within a year of your wedding date is acceptable.

If you have been baptised but not in a Catholic church you will need to bring the proof of your baptism (doesn’t have to be recently released)
