Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost?
The fee of €490 per couple (€245 per person) covers the preparation of your application process for your marriage license. In addition, there are administrative fees of 1900 Danish Crowns (approximately €255) required when submitting your application to the Agency of Family Law.
Are there any additional costs?
Yes, apart from the processing fee and administrative fees, you should budget for travel expenses and accommodation, especially if you plan to stay overnight in Denmark. Additionally, there are optional extras that can be arranged, including apostille and legalization services, interpreter service, photographer, floral arrangements, and special requests for the marriage date or venue.
How long time does it take?
Typically, it takes about 5 working days for the Agency of Family Law to process a marriage license application, provided all required documents are in order.
Once you receive approval, the availability of marriage dates at your chosen registry office determines when you can schedule your marriage ceremony. This timeframe can range from 2 weeks to 3 months depending on the registry office.
What documents are required?
Required documents may include passports or ID cards, birth certificates from common children, and any relevant divorce or death certificates from previous marriages. The specific requirements may vary depending on your nationality and marital status.
In some cases, proof of relationship may also be required. This is to prevent sham or arranged marriages, which are not allowed under Danish marriage law.
You will receive detailed instructions via email on how to upload these documents after registering on our portal.
Why do we have to prove our relationship?
Proof of relationship is sometimes required to ensure that the marriage is genuine and not a sham or arranged marriage, which are not allowed under Danish marriage law. This helps maintain the integrity of the marriage process and ensures compliance with legal standards.
What happens after we submit our application for a marriage license?
After submitting your application, you will receive a response from the Agency of Family Law within approximately 1 week. If approved, you can proceed with booking your wedding date at your chosen registry office.
What happens if we do not receive an approval?
If your application for a marriage license is not approved, the Agency of Family Law will notify you. You may be required to provide additional information or documentation to address any issues. Please be aware that the reprocessing time may take longer, extending up to 4-6 months beyond the initial 5 working days. Hence, we strongly advise you to thoroughly prepare your case according to the provided guidelines and instructions before submitting it. This ensures minimal delays in the processing of your application.
