Marriage in Denmark

The Uncomplicated Choice for Everyone

A civil marriage in Denmark is particularly interesting for bi-national and same-sex (LGBTQ) couples, but also for European couples who want to get through the mandatory bureaucratic part of their wedding quickly, easily and without complications or simply want to get married anonymously.

Clear Requirements, Simple Solutions

In principle, you must prove your identity with an official document, such as your passport, identity card, confirmation of registration or birth certificate. You must also prove your current unmarried status with a certificate of unmarried status.

EU citizens can do this easily and inexpensively with an extended registration confirmation (5 – 10 euros at the registration office).

For detailed advice on the required documents, please contact us and let us know your individual situation:

Formalities in Germany

Immediately after your wedding ceremony in Denmark, you will receive two international marriage certificates bearing the names that appear on your identity card or passport. Name changes can only be applied for after the wedding ceremony at your local registry office in Germany or at the respective consulate. Germany and the rest of the world unconditionally recognize all marriages in Denmark that have been validly concluded in accordance with the laws of the country.

The marriage does not necessarily have to be registered at your local registry office or entered in the German marriage register. However, as registration may have tax advantages for you, we recommend that you find out about your options online or at your local registry office.

Why Professional Support Can Save Your Big Day

As simple as the process may seem at first glance, it can get complicated in the details. If you try to organize everything on your own without the help of specialists from a marriage agency, you risk making serious mistakes out of ignorance or lack of experience. These mistakes can significantly delay the approval process, in the worst case even months, or completely ruin your plans by rejecting the marriage license.

A marriage agency knows the procedures inside out, is aware of the potential hurdles, knows the right contacts in the offices and the differences between the registry offices. This includes, for example, which registry offices speak English or even German as well as Danish, which registry offices can be reached not only by ferry but also directly by car from Germany via bridges and highways, and much more.

Cooperation with Marriage Agency

Christoph first advised Bert, the founder of the wedding agency, in 2016, whereupon Bert turned his life around and set off for Bangkok as a nomad with a 45-liter backpack. Being in a binational relationship, Bert soon realized the importance of a marriage certificate for his future plans.

Disappointed with working with marriage agencies that failed to meet his simple needs, Bert used his experience as a business consultant to create a new, customer-centric online marriage planning service. This is characterized by simplicity, transparency and proactive communication, with no hidden costs.

Today, Bert’s team helps many couples every year to realize their individual wedding plans and takes care of the entire bureaucratic process up to the wedding vows.
