The Registrar-General has conducted an internal investigation relating to claims of forgery regarding a birth certificate of a female Fijian citizen, which resulted in a false marriage.
The matter is now under Police investigation.
While the Registrar-General will await the outcome of the Police findings, he has taken steps to ensure the situation is not repeated.
Citizens are now required to produce photo identification, request-letters, and certified passport photos when requesting certificates or applying for marriage licenses.
