Customary union records
Set down who was there, what was agreed, and what was paid, while it's still clear in everyone's memory, and while the people who stood with you can still say so.
Record a Customary UnionPreserving what families pass on
Family history rarely lives in one place. It's scattered across memories, old photographs, lobola receipts, WhatsApp messages, documents in a drawer, and relatives who remember what nothing else recorded. Customary Archive brings that history together, structured, stored securely, and organised into a family tree, with a record and a verification trail behind it.
Two families. One new branch.
Customary Archive is a family legacy and records platform, customary unions are the first use case, not the limit of it.
Customary union records
Set down who was there, what was agreed, and what was paid, while it's still clear in everyone's memory.
Family trees & lineage
Roots are your ancestors, branches are your families, and every person is a leaf on your Legacy Tree.
Secure family legacy storage
Photographs, letters, receipts and recordings, kept encrypted and organised in your family's own archive.
Verification
When someone needs proof, you decide exactly what an authorised verifier is allowed to see.
How a record takes root
Five stages, from the day itself to the day someone needs proof.
Begin
Start a customary union record while the details are still clear, who was there, where, and when.
Attest
The people who stood with you confirm the union happened, in their own words, under their own name.
Preserve
Photographs, letters, receipts (anything that proves the day) are preserved, encrypted and organised.
Verify
When a lawyer, bank, or embassy needs proof, an authorised verifier reviews the record and its evidence.
Connect
As your family grows, later records (children, property, further unions) link back into your Legacy Tree.
Begin wherever your family's story is
Private by design. Trusted when it counts.
Your family decides who sees what. Everyone else gets proof, not access.

Questions, answered
Is this a government marriage certificate?
No. An LL Vault Customary Union Record is a structured, witnessed record. It does not by itself establish statutory registration or legal marital status, but it gives lawyers, banks and embassies solid evidence to work from.
Who can see my family's information?
Only you and the people you invite. Verifiers see just the parts of a record you explicitly allow, and you can change that at any time.
Do my witnesses need an account?
No. Each witness and family representative gets a private link, proves the phone number or email with a one-time code, and confirms their own part in a couple of minutes.
Can I use it for more than a customary union?
Yes. Unions are the first use case. The Legacy Tree and secure storage hold children, property, letters and any other family history worth keeping.
