Is Your Danish Marriage Certificate Recognized Internationally?

When getting married in Denmark, many couples might expect that their marriage certificate is automatically valid in their home country. That is not necessarily the case.

Whether you’ve shared a home for years or are in a long-distance relationship and have never lived under the same roof, you can still get married legally and easily. Denmark does not require proof of cohabitation to approve your marriage application. This is one of the reasons the country has become a popular destination for couples worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions About Getting Married in Denmark

How quickly can foreigners get married in Denmark?

If you have all the required marriage documents, we can submit your wedding application immediately.

Once the application has been submitted, the Danish Agency of Family Law can issue approval in as little as five working days.

After approval, we can help you schedule your wedding ceremony at the city hall in Denmark.

Please note that the processing time always depends on the government office.

How long does the marriage application process take in Denmark?

The marriage application process in Denmark is generally very efficient. If all required documents are submitted correctly, the Danish Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) usually issues the Certificate of Marital Status within about five working days.

However, if additional information or documentation is required, the processing time may take longer. In more complex cases, it can take several weeks or even a few months before further communication is received.

To avoid delays, it is important to submit a complete and accurate application and respond quickly to any requests from the authorities.

What is a Danish city hall wedding ceremony like?

A Danish city hall wedding ceremony is typically short and simple. Most ceremonies last around 5 to 10 minutes.

The ceremony usually begins with a few welcoming words from the registrar, and sometimes a short reading or poem. After this, the couple exchanges the legal marriage vows (you may also add your own personal vows if you wish).

Finally, the couple signs the official marriage certificate, which legally confirms the marriage.

City halls across Denmark offer beautiful ceremony rooms, providing a simple yet meaningful setting for your wedding.

Can I change my name after getting married in Denmark?

If you are not a Danish citizen, you cannot change your name in Denmark as part of the marriage process.

However, you can easily change your name once you return to your home country. This is usually done through your local civil registry office (often called “Births, Deaths and Marriages”) or through your embassy or consulate if you live abroad.

The exact procedure depends on the regulations in your country of residence.
