Getting married in Denmark is simple – but only when you understand each of the steps and what is required of you from start to finish. Get any of the steps wrong and you’ll experience long delays.
This page is your complete guide of the entire process, from preparing your documents to celebrating your wedding day and everything in between!
Whether you’re an EU / non-EU couple, same-sex couple, or marrying on a tourist visa, this is where to start.
Before you can apply, your paperwork must be complete and correct.
While the documents required are straightforward, your documents must be prepared to adhere to the Danish Agency of Family Law’s very strict requirements. Get this preparation wrong and you’ll encounter long delays.
Once your documents are ready and properly prepared, the next stage is submitting your application to the Agency of Family Law (AFL). The AFL is the Danish government agency that is responsible for processing and approving all international marriage applications. You cannot get married in Denmark if your application has not been approved by the AFL.
You (or your chosen agency) will upload your carefully prepared documents through the official AFL portal and pay the required processing fee.
After submission, the AFL reviews every file carefully to make sure all legal requirements are met. Here’s what happens behind the scenes:
By choosing to apply through an experienced Danish marriage agency, your file will be checked and formatted in the precise way the AFL requires, preventing unnecessary delays and fast approval.

Once your approval is issued by the AFL, it’s then time to contact your preferred town hall and book your wedding date!

It’s time to come to Denmark and get married! The final step in the bureaucratic process – you must present your travel documents to the marriage office before you can get married. Once this is done, you can relax into your day, enjoy your ceremony and celebrate becoming newlyweds!
Afterwards, you’ll receive two international marriage certificates which are yours to take home with you immediately after your ceremony. Make sure to check before you get married, if you need them legalised with an Apostille stamp!

We hear it all!
Whatever your reasons, there are things you can do to help move forward through the process quickly, if that’s what you need to do!
Menschen aus der ganzen Welt können in Dänemark heiraten - und zwar unabhängig vom Geschlecht. Die einzige Ausnahme könnte bestehen, wenn Sie aktuell den Aufenthaltsstatus eines Asylbewerbers oder Flüchtlings haben.
Dürfen gleichgeschlechtliche Paare in Dänemark heiraten?
Ja, natürlich!
Dänemark ist ein beliebtes Ziel für gleichgeschlechtliche Paare, die heiraten möchten.
Dänemark war das erste Land der Welt, das 1989 gleichgeschlechtliche Ehen anerkannte. Inzwischen wurde diese Regelung durch ein neues Gesetz für die gleichgeschlechtliche Ehe ersetzt.
Heiraten in Dänemark ist sehr einfach, aber es gelten auch einige strenge Vorgaben.
Sie müssen mindestens 18 Jahre alt sein, um in Dänemark heiraten zu können.
Wenn einer von Ihnen schon einmal verheiratet war, muss diese Ehe rechtskräftig aufgelöst worden sein, bevor Sie erneut heiraten können.
To get married in Denmark you need to be able to legally enter the country. Therefore you need to either have a valid visa or a type of residency that allows entry into Denmark.
Der wichtigste Teil des gesamten Prozesses ist natürlich Ihr Hochzeitstag und wir hoffen, dass Sie so bald wie möglich mit der Planung beginnen können.
We always advise you to wait until we have processed your documents. We also recommend that you wait until the town hall of your choice has confirmed the date of your ceremony.
Danach können Sie mit vollem Eifer mit der Planung Ihrer Hochzeit und Ihres Aufenthalts in Dänemark beginnen.
