Hi @Forrest,
thanks for reaching out to the wefugees community. To marry in Germany, the following documents are needed:
- A valid passport
- An official birth certificate
- Proof of a minimum of 21 days of continuous residence in Germany (this can be a Meldebescheinigung issued by the local Anmeldeamt)
- Proof of being single (Ledigkeitsbescheinigung)
- Birth certificates of children (if any) the couple may have had together
- The required application and questionnaire from the Standesamt
Often one or both partners may have to provide the following depending on their particular circumstances and the requirements of the local magistrate's office:
- Certificate of No Impediment (CNI) (Befreiung vom Ehefähigkeitszeugnis)
- Marriage certificates from previous marriages
- A financial statement
