Marriage abroad; application for a certificate of no impediment to marriage

Service content

  • Description of the

    A certificate of matrimonial capacity is a certificate issued by the competent German registry office for marriage abroad, in which both fiancées are named. It certifies that there are no known impediments to the intended marriage under German law.

  • Prerequisites

    In order to apply for a certificate of no impediment to marriage, at least one of the fiancées must be a German citizen. Furthermore, the same requirements must be met as for an application for marriage:

    • You must both be of legal age.
    • They must not be related to each other in a straight line or be full or half siblings.
    • If you were already married or in a registered civil partnership, the previous marriage or civil partnership must have been dissolved.

    In any case, please enquire in advance at the relevant registry office regarding the required documents. They will be happy to advise you.

  • Costs

    Issuing a certificate of no impediment to marriage costs at least EUR 55.00. The fees may increase depending on the individual case. Your registry office will be happy to advise you.
