Marriage Registry Office

When you want to get married in Denmark, you must submit your application to the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset). You select by yourself, which municipality you wish to get married in and you have to indicate this in your application.

Of course, we would be delighted if you choose Aabenraa Kommune for the most important day of your life. 

If this is the case, please follow this procedure:

1. Send your documents to the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) and choose Aabenraa Kommune for your wedding municipality - if you have questions regarding the case working or the case working progress, please contact the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset), hence we cannot answer questions in this matter.
2. When the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) has checked and approved your papers, you will receive an email with a link to our booking page. You can book an appointment for the wedding yourself on the booking page.
3. You can only book an appointment once you have received your approval from the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset). Usually you can get an appointment within two weeks.

Appointments and witnesses

Two witnesses must be present at a wedding.

If you bring your own witnesses, you can get an appointment on a Monday, Thursday afternoon or Friday.

If you do not have your own witnesses, the municipality can provide them free of charge. If you do not bring your own witnesses, we can offer you an appointment on a Tuesday or Thursday. 

On Thursdays we have appointments with our witnesses for couples who urgently need an appointment, e.g. because their certificate of marital status from Familieretshuset will expire shortly. Please contact us by email (vielser@aabenraa.dk) if you need an urgent appointment. 

You come to the wedding ceremony on the date agreed with Aabenraa Kommune and there are no additional costs. There is no mandatory overnight stay.

Please note! You must both be able to communicate in English, German or Danish. If this is not the case, you must bring along a translator. If we cannot communicate with both of you, we cannot wed you. 

How to change the marriage municipality if you already have your approval from the Agency of Family Law

If you already have an approval and want to get married in our municipality, you must contact the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset). The Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) will send us your documents and you will then receive a link to our booking page.
