Wedding agency KARINA

Anywhere...

... in Denmark you want, you can get married. However, you should know that there are differences between each town and region. Some places don´t require you to be there until the wedding day, whereas others require you to stay up to 4 days before the marriage appointment.

An Apostille on your marriage certificate...

... is sometimes needed in order for your marriage to be recognized in a foreign country (for example in the country of your origin). Your marriage certificate has to be authenticated from the Danish foreign ministry. The Danish marriage certificate is usually accepted in Germany even without an Apostille.

Persons with a Tourist or Visitor Visa...

... have to return to their native country and apply for a family reunion visa (according to the Act to Implement Residence- and Asylum-Related EU-Directives which was enacted on August 28, 2007) at the German embassy there. As every rule has its exceptions, we recommend you consult an attorney specialized in international law beforehand.

As a Student or Au-Pair….

... you can get married in Denmark and it is not necessary for you to return to your native country afterwards.

Attention!

If you have on your visa the note "Without entitlement to contraction of marriage“...

... then you can´t get married in Denmark.

Wedding witnesses...

... will be provided by the civil registry for free, if you don´t have your own.

The change of names after the wedding...

...was abolished in Denmark on the 04.01.2006.  You have to change your names at the civil registry or at the consulate in your country of residence.
