Getting Married in Denmark

In order to enter into marriage in Denmark, you must both be 18 years of age or over and you must both be unmarried.

If one of you has previously been married, the previous marriage must have been dissolved before you can remarry.

Marriage between close relatives is not permitted and, if one of you is under guardianship, the guardian must consent to the marriage.

You must apply for a certificate of marital status either to the Agency of Family Law (Familieretshuset) or to your local authority (kommune).

The authority to which you must apply will depend on both your nationality and that of your partner and on the basis for your residence in Denmark. 

Please see the following link to the Agency of Family Law here for information on International Marriage and read more about the procedures and conditions via a local authority here.
