If you’re looking for a quick, affordable, and legally recognised way to get married in Europe, Denmark is one of the best options available. Thousands of international couples choose it every year for its speed, simplicity, and flexibility. And it could easily be the perfect choice for you too.
Why Choose Denmark?
Denmark is one of the most popular wedding destinations in Europe for foreign couples for good reason. The process is fast, the paperwork is minimal, and marriages are recognised worldwide. Whether you’re from the UK, the EU, or further afield, Denmark welcomes:
- Same-sex couples
- Mixed-nationality couples
- Couples with complex visa or residency situations
What You’ll Need to Get Married in Denmark
Every couple’s circumstances are different, so the exact paperwork can vary. At Marry Abroad Simply, we provide a free, no-obligation checklist tailored to your specific situation. This ensures you only gather what’s truly necessary for your application.
For most couples, the standard requirements include:
- Valid passports – with at least 3 months’ validity from your wedding date.
- Visa or residence permit – if you’re not visa-exempt, you’ll need a valid Schengen visa. If you live outside your nationality country, a residence permit may also be required.
- Proof of divorce or death certificate – if you’ve been married before. These must be fully legalised or apostilled under the Hague Convention.
- Evidence of your relationship – we’ll guide you on creating a simple document showing your genuine connection, such as shared photos, travel records, or proof of living together.
What Denmark Doesn’t Require
One of the biggest reasons couples choose Denmark is because it doesn’t demand a long list of unnecessary paperwork. You will not need:
- A single status certificate
- A certificate of no impediment
- A birth certificate
Can You Marry in Denmark on a Tourist Visa?
Yes! You don’t need to live in Denmark to marry there. As long as you have legal entry – whether via a tourist Schengen visa, a 90-day visa-free period, or an EU residence permit – you can marry in Denmark.
