What is the marriage procedure in Germany? Please refer to the LEGAL SERVICES section of the Garrison website for your questions.
If you have further questions, please make an appointment with the legal assistance office by emailing us at: USARMY.WIESBADEN.USAREUR.MBX.OJA-WLC-LEGAL-ASSISTANCE-CALENDAR@MAIL.MIL
German law applies to all U.S. citizens who desire to get married in Germany. Soldiers and their fiancé must meet with the local Standesamt.
What documents do I need to get married in Germany?
This depends on what the registrar’s office (Standesamt) requires and may vary from case to case. The first step is to make an appointment with the Standesamt to give notice of the impendingmarriage (Antrag auf Eheschlieβung formerly known as Aufgebot, § 4 PStG). At that time, you will receive a detailed list of all documents required in your specific case. The following standard requirements usually apply in almost all cases:
Your birth certificate. It is a German requirement that all documents must have been issued within the last six months; therefore you may have to obtain a new copy of your birth certificate. The embassy or consulates cannot obtain documents on your behalf nor provide translations of documents. Birth certificates for any children you may have had with your fiancé(e) prior to the marriage will also have to be presented.
If your fiancé(e) cannot be present when you register for the upcoming marriage then you need to present a written statement indicating that he/she agrees to the initiation of the registry process (Beitrittserklarung). It is done very easily by simply having your fiancé(e) sign the power of attorney form on the marriage questionnaire provided by the Standesamt.
All foreigners marrying in Germany require an official Affidavit of Eligibility to Marry or Certificate of No Impediment to Marriage (Ehefähigkeitszeugnis) or Certificateof Single Status (Ledigkeitsbescheinigung) to obtain a marriage license at a Civil Registry Office (Standesamt). No such government-issued document exists in the United States. The U.S. embassy or consulates cannot attest to your marital status.
As of January 2021, U.S. residents in all 16 German states may now take an oath swearing to their eligibility to marry (eigene eidesstattliche Erklärung überden Familienstand) directly at their Standesamt. If you do not have legal resident status in Germany, you must obtain a notarized marriage affidavit from your home state in the United States. Neither the U.S. Embassy nor the U.S. Consulates General can request/obtain the marriage affidavit on your behalf.
Note: German authorities might also require that you provide an apostille for some of your documents (birth certificates, court orders, etc.) issued abroad. See next question. Once you have submitted all necessary documents to the Standesamt, the paperwork is then sent off to the Higher Regional Court (Oberlandesgericht), in order to obtain an exemption from having to produce a certificate of eligibility to marry (Befreiung vom Ehefähigkeitszeugnis).
All of the these documents must be translated by a certified translator to be accepted. Additionally, if one of the parties is German then all the necessary documents will be done by the Standesamt. However, if one of the parties is non-German and non-U.S., but of an European Union country, the Standesamt will assist and point out what is needed.
Standesamt Wiesbaden: Altes Rathaus Markt Strasse 16 65183 Wiesbaden or call 049- 611-31-3406-2 and ask for an English speaking representative. If the people have married in Wiesbaden, you can order a marriage certificate online.
If you would like to order a marriage certificate from another person, please contact the Registry Office Wiesbaden (Altes Rathaus, Marktstraße 16, 65183 Wiesbaden; Phone: 0611 31 3406; E-mail: urkunden@wiesbaden.de).
