How quickly can I get married in Denmark?

If you have all the required documents ready, we can make your wedding application immediately. When the application is submitted, the Danish government can issue an approval in as little as five working days. Once approved, we can book your ceremony. Please note this is a situation dependent on the government office processing time.

How long does the application process take?

The marriage application process in Denmark is known for its efficiency. If you submit all required documents accurately and meet the necessary conditions, the Danish Agency of Family Law typically issues a Certificate of Marital Status within five working days. However, if additional information is needed, the processing time may extend. In such cases, it can take up to seven months to receive further communication. Submitting a complete and accurate application is essential for a smooth process.

What is the ceremony like?

The Danish wedding ceremony is short. A city hall wedding will last around ten minutes. Usually, the registrar speaks a few words, possibly a poem, followed by legal vows (you may write your own), and then the signing of the marriage license. All city halls offer beautiful ceremony rooms.

Can I change my name when getting married?

You cannot change your name in Denmark unless you are Danish. However, changing your name and registering your marriage should be straightforward once you return to your home country. Contact your local registry or embassy for the procedure.

Get Married in Denmark While Living in Different Countries

When considering getting married in Denmark, many couples are wondering and questioning whether it matters if you live together or even in the same country or not.

If you and your partner are currently residing in different parts of the world, Denmark still offers you the possibility to unite in marriage without unnecessary legal hurdles. Here’s what you need to know about navigating the process successfully.

Marriage Laws Designed for International Couples

Denmark is globally recognized for its inclusive and simplified marriage regulations. One of the main reasons it attracts thousands of international couples each year is that it does not require either partner to be a Danish resident or even to have lived together prior to the application. That means you can apply for marriage even if one of you lives in Europe while the other resides overseas.

This level of flexibility is rare in many countries where residency, joint addresses, or a history of living together are required. In Denmark, the primary focus is on valid documentation and a genuine relationship, not your geographic loc

What You Need to Provide

To get married in Denmark while living in separate countries, you must prepare all the necessary documents correctly. These generally include a valid passport or national ID, a signed declaration of truth, and a power of attorney. Depending on your situation, additional documents may be required, such as proof of divorce or legal residency. You can find detailed information about the documentation requirements here.

The application process is handled through the Agency of Family Law. Once approved, your wedding can usually be scheduled in just a few days. You only need to be physically present in Denmark on the day of your ceremony, not before.
