Say 'Yes' without Bureaucratic Hurdles
Getting married quickly and easily without a birth certificate and certificate of unmarried status from your home country is not only possible in Las Vegas, but also in Germany’s neighboring country Denmark.
Since the 1960s, Denmark has welcomed international, bi-national and same-sex couples to marry here (recognized worldwide, in the EU and in Germany). The simple Danish marriage laws allow tourists to get married here. The process is straightforward, and the documentation and bureaucracy are far simpler than in any other European country – including Germany.
This significantly reduces the organizational stress for the bride and groom on the civil side before the wedding ceremony. While getting married in Germany is often quite nerve-wracking and involves long waiting times, especially for bi-national and same-sex couples, the registry offices in Denmark require far fewer documents and work much faster and more flexibly.

Bureaucracy
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.

Getting Married without Stumbling Blocks
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.
