Marriage registration

You can generally say "I do" at any Registry Office (“Standesamt”) in Germany. The Registry Office at your place of residence (also secondary residence) is responsible for registering the marriage (application).

If neither of you has a residence in Germany, the Registry Office where the marriage shall take place is responsible.

See below for detailed information.
