Witness information
It is a legal requirement that two witnesses attend every wedding ceremony in Denmark. These witnesses can be family members, friends, or individuals you select. If you prefer, the city hall can also arrange witnesses for you.
€255 Application fee NOT included
It is important to note that the €255 application fee for the Danish Agency of Family Law (AFL) is not included in the Basic Service package. This fee is a mandatory charge required by the Danish government for processing your marriage application. You will be responsible for paying this fee directly to the government when submitting your documents. Although this fee is separate from our services, we provide full guidance on how and when to make the payment to ensure that everything is completed correctly and on time.
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.
We have helped couples marry in under ten days from application to ceremony.
Please note this is a situation dependent on the government office processing time.
You only need to be in Denmark at the time of your wedding ceremony. There are no rules as to how long before or after the ceremony, you need to stay in Denmark.
The Danish wedding ceremony is short. A city hall wedding will last around ten minutes. Usually, there are some words spoken by the registrar, maybe a poem, then the legal vows are exchanged (you can write your own vows too), followed by the signing of your marriage license. All locations have beautiful ceremony rooms where the wedding will take place.
You cannot change your name in Denmark (unless you are Danish). But changing your name and registering your wedding should be straightforward when you return to your home country. Check with the office of “Births, Deaths, and Marriages” or with your embassy if you live outside of your home country.
It is a legal requirement that two witnesses attend every wedding ceremony in Denmark, these can be family or friends, or they can be arranged by the city hall. In Denmark, witnesses are always organized for you if you need them in any City Hall for a weekday ceremony – there is no extra charge for witnesses on a weekday.
Some City Halls will require you to bring one or two witnesses for a wedding on weekends.
