Dreaming of Getting Married in Denmark, But Living Abroad?
Danish marriage rules apply to everyone
If you live in another country but want to get married in Denmark, you must meet the Danish marriage requirements, even if the marriage conditions in your home country are different.
Exception for Nordic citizens
However, if one of you is a citizen of another Nordic country (Sweden, Norway, Finland or Iceland), you can choose to have the marriage rules of that country apply.
How to apply the rules from another Nordic country
If one of you is a citizen of another Nordic country, you can request that the approval process follow the rules of that country. To do this, you will need to include a marriage certificate from the authority in your country that issues marriage certificates. The marriage certificate shows that you meet the marriage requirements of that country and must not be more than four months old.
Important to remember
- Research the specific requirements and procedures for getting married in Denmark, as they may vary depending on your situation.
- Contact the relevant authorities or seek legal advice if you have any questions or are unsure about anything.
- Make sure you have all the necessary documents in order well in advance of the wedding.
