Please note:
For future spouses from countries where certificates of no impediment to marriage are issued, it is advisable to seek advice from the registry office about exemption from the obligation to present a certificate of no impediment to marriage. This is issued by the President of the competent Higher Regional Court. The registrar records the application and forwards it.
For foreign-language documents, the registry office generally requires complete translations into German, prepared by a translator publicly appointed and sworn in Germany. Foreign documents often also require certification by the competent foreign authority. In such a case, the registry office will draw your attention to this.
- Further documents:
- The registry office may request further documents, such as the naturalization certificate.
The costs vary depending on the federal state. Your local registry office will be happy to provide you with information.
Spiegato semplicemente
You must register your intended marriage in person at the registry office in whose jurisdiction you have your place of residence or habitual abode.
To speed up the procedure, you can send the registry office both your preferred date for the marriage and the data required to check your eligibility for marriage by pre-registering.
The place where you register your marriage does not have to be the place where your marriage is to take place. In principle, you can get married at any registry office in Germany.
A civil marriage and a church wedding are independent of each other.
No witnesses need to be present at the marriage ceremony. However, if you wish, you can appoint 1 or 2 people as witnesses.
You can decide at the wedding or at a later date whether you wish to have a joint or separate surname.
Quali requisiti devono essere soddisfatti?
The following may register a marriage
- persons of full age
Further requirements:
- A marriage may not be entered into before the age of majority.
- Marriage between relatives in a direct line, for example parents and their children, and between siblings and half-siblings is not permitted. This also applies in principle if the relationship was established by adoption.
- Double marriages are not permitted in Germany. A previous marriage must have been dissolved by death, divorce or other legally binding court judgment before a new marriage can be entered into.
If a previous marriage was divorced abroad, the divorce must generally first be expressly recognized in Germany in order for it to take effect here. There are exceptions to this principle, particularly in most European Union (EU) countries. A previously established civil partnership must also be dissolved.
