It depends. Your application to the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) can be approved in as little as five working days, but this is not something you should rely on without preparation. Such a fast approval requires that your documents are submitted correctly, that everything is in perfect order, and that the Agency does not have any follow-up questions for you.
Ffrom the very beginning of the process, it will make a big difference if you have all your paperwork and documents in perfect order. The authorities are very precise. By making sure everything is prepared correctly right from the start, you give yourself the best chance of a fast approval and avoid the frustration of going back and forth with additional requests.
The most important factor is to avoid mistakes in your application. Even the smallest errors can change the process from just a few days or weeks to several months. In some cases, if the Agency has only minor questions, the timeline may stretch to a couple of weeks, but if documents need to be resubmitted or clarified, the waiting time can become significantly longer. The importance of these seemingly minor mistakes can
One of the smartest decisions you can make when time is important is to work with a professional wedding agency. Any questions you may have about the which documents you’ll need, the application itself, booking with town halls, or even the overall process will be answered thoroughly and precisely. This speeds up the process significantly, since a wedding agency such as Wedding Planner Denmark has guided couples through the system hundreds of times.
An experienced agency knows exactly what the Agency of Family Law expects, how to prepare your documents correctly the first time, and how to deal with any follow-up questions that might arise.
At Wedding Planner Denmark, we assist couples every day in making sure everything is handled smoothly and efficiently, so you can focus on your wedding rather than the paperwork. By trusting your agency and following their guidance, you not only avoid unnecessary mistakes but also save valuable time, often making the difference of getting married fast or not.
Equally important is the way you communicate with your agency. To keep the process moving quickly, it is essential to stay in close contact, respond to requests without delay, and follow the instructions you are given. The sooner you provide information or clarifications, the sooner your case can progress. If you maintain strong communication, and follow the instructions given, you can almost always expect a much faster and smoother journey to getting married in Denmark.
If you want the fastest possible wedding in Denmark, one of the most important steps is to act quickly and to stay flexible. Speed depends not only on how fast your documents are processed, but also on how open you are to different options. Many couples dream of saying “I do” at Copenhagen City Hall, but the truth is that popular locations and especially weekends are often fully booked far in advance. If you insist on one specific place or date, you may end up waiting much longer than necessary.
Even if you hire a wedding agency, you still have to do your part to make sure things run as quickly as possible. After all, it is your wedding and your documents that needs to be submitted. It is a collaborative process that works best if you respond to your agency as fast as possible.
This is why flexibility is such a powerful advantage. From the very beginning of the process, if you keep an open mind about both location and timing, you can often get married much sooner. We can arrange weddings in wonderful locations such as Copenhagen City Hall, Frederiksberg, Ærø, Tønder, Ribe, and Esbjerg Town Hall, as well as in other municipalities if needed. Each of these venues has its own unique charm, and choosing a less busy town hall can often cut weeks off your waiting time.
Being flexible does not mean making compromises on your big day. Indstead, many couples who choose a smaller or lesser-known town hall find the experience more personal and memorable. By being open-minded about where and when you get married, you give yourself the very best chance of securing the earliest available date and turning your Danish wedding dream into reality without unnecessary delays. Of course, if you want to be married at a specific location on a specific date, you’ll probably have to wait a little longer.
We are very aware that many couples wish to get married in Denmark as fast as possible. To make the process as smooth and fast as possible, we offer two specially designed packages for exactly this purpose. Both solutions will save valuable time and avoid unnecessary delays as much as possible. Of course, there are no guarantees that you’ll get married as fast as you hope or expect, but your chances are increased significantly.
With the Express Service, we guide you step by step through the entire process, handle the paperwork with the Agency of Family Law, and secure your ceremony at one of Denmark’s town halls as quickly as possible. If you wish to marry in Copenhagen, our Copenhagen Express Service gives you the same fast-track process but with the added possibility of a private ceremony in the capital, along with extras such as professional photography and certificate legalization. Whichever option you choose, these packages are designed to give you peace of mind and the fastest route to your wedding day in Denmark.
So, to summarize, it is absolutely possible to get married quickly in Denmark. The key is to choose an experienced agency that has guided countless couples through the process before, to listen carefully and collaborate closely with your agency, to act quickly when information is needed, and to remain flexible when it comes to location, date, and time.
