Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about getting married in Denmark.
The Danish Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) generally processes complete applications with no missing information in about 5 working days; cases needing more information take longer — this is a general target, not a guarantee. Once approved, we can book your ceremony immediately.
In most cases, NO. Passports and residency permits/visas are usually sufficient. This is what makes Denmark so easy compared to other countries!
Yes! As long as you have a valid tourist visa or can enter the Schengen zone legally, you can get married in Denmark.
The ceremony can be conducted in English, German, or Danish. You will encounter no language barriers.
A Danish marriage certificate is valid under Danish law and, once apostilled, can be authenticated for use in the member states of the Hague Apostille Convention. Authentication is not the same as automatic recognition of every legal effect — whether the marriage is recognised, and what rights it unlocks, depends on the laws of your home country. We assist with the optional Apostille service as part of our packages.
