Mauritius Records ?!
A rather random request. I am doing my family tree, and have a great grandparent who I can’t find. I’m fairly sure they were from Mauritius, and I would like to try and order a marriage certificate. I’ve googled, and only found an email address which does not work. I wondered if anyone was better at this than me, and could find a way for me to contact the Mauritius government/records office to request a marriage certificate ?!

Quote from the Mauritius Civil Status Division website:
"11. How do I conduct genealogical research?
Through an application process, provide information pertaining to self and known filiations to an Civil Status Officer at any Civil Status Office
12. How long does it take to obtain relevant requested copies?
For record available on the database, Birth Records from the year 1920 to date, and Death and Marriage Records from 2001 to date, are available on Civil Status Database, these Civil Status documents will be delivered instantly.
However for,
Birth Records: 1861-1919
