If all your documents are ok, we are able to make an appointment for your marriage. You will have to show up personally bringing your original documents and paying the fee. You must stay in Odense for at least 3 days prior to your wedding so we have time to prepare your wedding documents. This means that if you for instance arrive on a Monday you will be able to get married on the following Thursday. Other possibilities are arriving on a Tuesday and marrying Friday, or arriving Wednesday marrying Saturday.
Once you have been married you will receicve an international marriage certificate in five languages. If you need to get your marriage certificate legalized please look here Legalization
