My late husband was adopted in the 1950's. When we married his parents were his adopted parents and his name was the one his adopted parents gave him. Groom is right. When he was adopted he became their legal son and heir.

PS we married 1980 in New Zealand.

When did it become obligatory to supply proof of identity for marriage? 
I've just realised that this is something I don't know!

I expect 'proof' may be required in areas where potential scam marriages are rife/on the increase.
