Marriage Certificate

Normally, the marriage office brings (two) copies of your marriage certificates signed by the official authority.
If you need more than two copies, you can obtain them, and we can request them from the office for you before or after your wedding.

Unfortunately, it is not possible to change the name on the wedding certificate because this document only provides the originals names from passports or ID cards at the time of the wedding celebration.
If you would like to change the name, you must only do it with the competent authority in your country of residence after your wedding.

Currently, it is only available in five languages: Danish, English, German, French, and Spanish.

This document is the original marriage certificate signed by the authority, spouses, and witnesses. Because of this, it must be kept in the archives of the Danish City Hall for 50 years, and it is not possible to obtain it.

For a better illustration, we have included an example of the Danish International Marriage Certificate in this section.
In this picture, you can see that all the information in Danish, English, German, French and Spanish languages.

Yes, of course!

Getting your marriage certificate is usually not difficult.

However, there are a few things to consider. One is remembering the correct city hall, especially if you are married in Copenhagen.

Don't worry if you cannot remember, it is more expected that you think!

We will work together to find it, asking questions about the starting letter and landmarks to figure it out.

The Danish Marriage Certificate is legally recognized worldwide. Still, if you plan to use it for administrative or immigration purposes, it may need to be legalized, for example, by an apostille.

The document is legally valid in Denmark, but laws vary from country to country. Apostille legalization is a verification of authenticity by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs that ensures the marriage certificate is legally recognized internationally in your country of residence or another country.

Legalizations did not seem as crucial in the past, especially for other EU countries. However, laws are becoming stricter, and administrative offices worldwide are exercising greater caution in accepting documents.

In this regard, we always recommend that our clients review what kind of legalization the administrative instance needs.

Typically, city halls use regular untracked mail to send certificates.
However, our legalization service ensures a secure return by utilizing tracked service.
If you obtain the certificate directly from the City Hall, you can opt for our Apostille Legalisation Serv. We guarantee a fully legalized document and safe delivery.
