Marriage certificate from a 3rd country to be used at the embassy of a foreign country in China
I'm married to a Chinese girl since 2013 in a 3rd country that is other than our nationalities while we were both holding temporary student residence permits there (in Europe). We have now left that country as our temporary residence permits expired. We translated the marriage certificate to Chinese in 2013 and notarized it at the Chinese embassy & I've been using that since then to renew my residence permit in China without any problem. We also translated the marriage certificate to Korean because we knew at some point we are immigrating there. Now Korean embassy in China requires a marriage certificate that is issued not later than 3 months ago to prove we are still married. We are both non-EU, so now that we have left Europe, we might not be able to go back there for getting a new certificate, and even if we can have the visas to go back get as we gave-up our residence permits, they may not give us an updated paper to prove we are still married. But as we got married in a third country it's only registered there, so in fact in our own countries we are still registered as single (her hukou is not updated yet). We tried to see if we can register our marriage in china by updating her Hukou but if I understood it right, even if we do it it's just like changing her status from single to married (without mentioning my name) and it doesn't give us a certificate that we are still married to each other. What would be the solution in this case as we need to new certificate? as we can have the single status certificate should we try to get married again in China to have marriage booklets here or is there any other solution to this?
