When getting married in Denmark

In your process of getting married in Denmark we will need to process the following information from you to make the necessary arrangements with the Danish authorities:

  • Valid Passport, visa if required.
  • If you are living abroad, you will need to show your residence permit.
  • If you have been previously married, a divorce decree or death certificate will be required.
  • Persons of the Military will require permission from their commander.
  • Original Birth Certificate (in most cases your birth certificate is not necessary)
  • Recent certificate of marital status from your current place of residence (in most cases this document is not necessary)


We won’t need all these certificates all the time – it depends on your specific case, and the legal requirements your specific case needs to comply with. We will figure this out for you in our communication before beginning our service delivery.
