How long does the marriage application process take?
The marriage application process in Denmark is widely recognized for its efficiency and simplicity. If you meet the requirements and submit all required documents correctly, the Danish Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) typically issues a Certificate of Marital Status within five working days.
However, in more complex cases – especially when additional information is requested – the processing time may be significantly longer. Some couples have experienced waiting times of up to seven months before receiving further communication, depending on the case.

What is the ceremony like?
A typical civil wedding ceremony in Denmark is short, intimate, and legally binding. The ceremony usually lasts around 10 minutes and takes place in an official ceremony room.
The registrar will say a few welcoming words – sometimes including a short reading or poem – followed by the legal vows, which you’re welcome to personalize with your own. After the exchange of vows, you’ll sign the marriage license, and your union will be officially recognized.
All venues provide a simple yet beautiful setting, perfect for celebrating your love in a calm and respectful atmosphere.
Can I change my name on my wedding day?
You cannot change your name in Denmark unless you are a Danish citizen or resident. However, once you’re legally married, you can typically register your Danish marriage certificate and request a name change in your home country.
To do this, simply contact your local civil registry office (often called “Births, Deaths, and Marriages”) or speak with your embassy or consulate if you live abroad.
Every country has different rules, so we recommend checking in advance to understand how to proceed after your wedding in Denmark.
