A quick definition of certificate of marriage:

Definition: A certificate of marriage is a document that proves a couple is married. It is signed by the person who performed the wedding ceremony and filed with a government office. It is different from a marriage license, which is a document that gives permission for a couple to get married.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A certificate of marriage is a legal document that serves as evidence of a marriage. It is executed by a religious or civil official who presides over the marriage ceremony and is filed with a public authority, usually the county clerk.

Example: John and Jane got married in a church, and the priest who officiated their wedding signed a certificate of marriage. The certificate was then filed with the county clerk's office as proof of their marriage.

Explanation: The example illustrates how a certificate of marriage is created and used. The certificate is signed by the person who presides over the wedding and is then filed with a public authority. This document serves as legal proof of the marriage and is often required for various legal purposes, such as changing one's name or applying for spousal benefits.
