There are a lot of wedding destinations across the globe where you can plan your grand wedding. Denmark is one of the most favorite wedding destinations for foreign couples to conduct a romantic and serene destination wedding. There are many reasons behind this selection – easy legal procedures for wedding, minimal documentation, LGBT-friendly wedding destination, beautiful landscapes, and the list go on.
Well, if you are also a foreign couple and are planning to get married in Denmark, then here is everything you would want to know:
Who can get married in Denmark?
Denmark welcomes everyone who is in love and wants to tie their knots. Almost everyone can get married in Denmark, except for refugees and asylum-seekers.
Legitimacy of your marriage
If you get married in Denmark, your marriage is absolutely valid throughout the world. However, we strongly advise you to have your marriage certificate ‘Apostilled’. It is a validation by the Danish Foreign Ministry which gives you an added level of global acceptance as a couple.
Marriage certificate
After a successful wedding ceremony, you can get your marriage certificate straight away which already comes translated into multiple languages – French, English, Spanish, and German. After that, to receive the Apostille for you, we send a request to the Danish Foreign Ministry.
Marriage registration
Registering your marriage differs from country to country. So, depending upon which country you live in, you have to proceed further. Usually, you have to take your wedding certificate to the local authorities of your resident country. In the case of some countries, they want you as a couple to contact their embassy in Denmark before you get married here.
