Questions
Does this course give immigration or visa advice?
No. When a visa or a Home Office review may apply, the course tells you to read the official government page and to get advice from a qualified adviser if you need it.
Does this course cover every country?
No. The examples come from the official pages that this site's guides use, in the UK, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and the United States. In other places, such as Canada, read the official rules and ask the office.
Is the certificate a professional qualification?
No. It is a certificate of completion from this site. It is not a qualification as a celebrant, solemniser, registrar, translator or lawyer, and it does not let you conduct a marriage.
