Washington, November 12 The marriage certificate of Michael Jackson and Lisa Marie Presley will soon be auctioned.

The King of Pop and Elvis Presley's daughter signed the document in 1994 after a 15-minute marriage ceremony in the Dominican Republic on 26 May.

The certificate will go under the hammer at an estate sale in New York in January next year.

Auctioneer Philip Weiss expects the bid to be high.

"Anything relating to Michael Jackson is of extreme interest right now because of his untimely death and the release of the movie (This Is It)," Contactmusic quoted him as saying.

He added: "But when you have an item that combines his name and legend with the Presley name and legend - their marriage certificate no less - with both of their signatures on it, you've got something that's almost impossible to predict what it will bring at auction."

Jackson and Presley had parted ways in 1996. (ANI)
