Q: I’m a German, what documents are needed for marriage registration?

A:Thank you for your inquiry. In applying for marriage registration, both parties shall bring their personal registered residence booklets or certificates of the registered residence, ID cards (and Social Security Cards, if applicable) and three 2-inch, color, bareheaded couple photos taken recently.

In applying for marriage registration, the marital status of any divorced party in his or her personal registered residence booklet or certificate of the registered residence shall be divorced.
