Simply explained
If a marriage was divorced in another country, the divorce is initially only valid there. If the divorce is to be recognized in Germany, you can apply for this.
If your marriage was divorced after 01.03.2001 in a member state of the European Union (EU), you do not generally have to apply for recognition. This does not apply to Denmark.
You also do not have to apply for recognition of your foreign divorce if
- both spouses were nationals of the country in which the divorce took place, and
- neither of the spouses was a German citizen or a German national.
What requirements must be met?
- The marriage was divorced outside the European Union (EU) or in Denmark or before 01.03.2001 or before the state that issued the decision joined the EU.
- It is your own divorce or
- You have a legal interest in having the divorce recognized, for example
- as a new partner or
- because of pension and inheritance claims.
