Before the marriage, the spouses must be asked whether there have been any changes in their actual circumstances concerning the marriage requirements since the registration of the marriage and whether they wish to choose a married name.

The marriage ceremony should be conducted in a dignified manner appropriate to the significance of the marriage. Witnesses are no longer mandatory under German law, but may still be involved.

The marriage ceremony takes place in a place designated (prescribed) for this purpose by the competent authority (registry office).

The legal marriage presupposes the legal capacity (especially natural capacity and capacity to contract marriage) of the parties to the marriage, which is checked by the registrar/registrar's office. The declarations of the spouses that they wish to enter into marriage with each other must be recorded by the registrar in a transcript following the marriage. The minutes must contain all the information to be recorded in the marriage register. It must be signed by the spouses, the witnesses and the registrar.

A marriage is also deemed to have been concluded if the spouses have declared their intention to marry each other.

The marriage is concluded when the spouses declare in person and in the simultaneous presence of the registrar that they wish to marry each other.

As part of the marriage ceremony, you have the option of choosing a married name. It is also possible to choose a companion name for the married name.

The duration may vary. Please contact the relevant registry office.
