I am a Danish citizen living and working in Germany. I got divorced in Denmark and married again in Denmark. My wife is coming from Sri Lanka.

I have tried to register my  Danish marriage certificate at Einwohnermelderamt,  but they rejected it.

The reason is:

wir haben ein Problem, nach unserer Recherche und Prüfung der Unterlagen erkennt das sri-lankische Recht diese Eheschließung nicht an. Somit müssen Sie uns eine Bescheinigung vorlegen, dass diese Eheschließung in Sir Lanka anerkannt ist. Erst dann kann eine Eintragung durch uns erfolgen.  

Mit freundlichen Grüßen
R.

My wife checked with several authorities in Sri Lanka, all of them saying is not possible to register the Danish marriage certificate. The reason is foreign Affairs already legalized the document (Apostille) and the document is worldwide accepted.
