The form shall be issued only for a statement regarding the registration of a civil status act or for a registration certificate issued during the period starting on 1 January 2013. If a form for a statement regarding the registration of a civil status deed or a civil status registration certificate issued prior to 1 January 2013 is required, the person must request a document certifying the repeated civil status, submitting an application with a request to issue a statement regarding the registration of a civil status deed or a re-registration certificate of civil status statements with a form attached to it. The form cannot be added to the marriage registration statement if the marriage is divorced. It is also possible to request a form for a statement regarding the registration of a civil status deed or registration certificate for civil status statements in any Latvian local government family list department and the diplomatic and consular representation of Latvia in foreign states.
