- must not be related in a straight line (e.g. parents and children) or be siblings or half-siblings.
Procedure
You must register your marriage in writing or verbally at the registry office where you and your partner live. Please register your marriage together. If one of you is unable to attend for an important reason, your partner can bring a power of attorney.
If one of you or both of you are unable to attend for an important reason, you can also register in writing using the form.
If the registry office finds that there is no impediment to marriage, it will inform you accordingly. This notification that you meet all the requirements for marriage is valid for six months. After that, you will need to register the marriage again.

Additionally, if one partner is divorced or widowed:
- A newly issued certified printout from the marriage register of the last marriage kept at the registry office with a note of divorce or entry of death.
In case of a marriage divorced abroad, a personal interview is necessary in advance because of possible recognition procedures. For this purpose, please bring all documents and legally binding divorce and annulment decrees with a complete translation by a sworn translator in Germany.
