How to Get Married in Copenhagen?

As early as 4 months prior to your expected date of marriage, you may submit your application to get married in Copenhagen or some other location in Denmark or abroad. You have to fill in a marriage notice, and get approval for it. The earliest application can be 4 months before your intended date of getting married. 

Once the marriage notice gets approved, there will be issuance of a certificate of marital status, in case you will be getting married in Denmark. A marriage license would be issued in case you would be getting married abroad. 

The municipalities or the Agency of Family Law in Denmark are the authorities that deal with marriage applications. Where you have to apply for marriage would be based on the status of your residence in Denmark or the nationality of you and your partner.
