The primary consideration might surprise some individuals: correctly identifying the town hall where the marriage was registered. While it's easy for couples married in well-known cities like Copenhagen to recall, for others married decades ago in lesser-known locations, remembering becomes a puzzle. We've supported couples in retracing these memories, sometimes requiring detective work to determine the exact town hall.
Please don't feel uneasy if the town hall eludes your memory.
Another vital aspect is the need for legalisation. Although your marriage holds global legality, for administrative purposes in your country of residence, Apostille legalisation might be required. This legalisation ensures the document's equivalence in the laws of your residing country.
You might question if your wedding certificate requires legalisation. In our experience, even for administrative use, it's beneficial to have a legally sanctioned document. Given tightening regulations globally, many administrative offices now demand legalised certificates.
